This paper analyses the White Paper from the rural perspective. It notes that very little attention is paid in the text to natural resources spending. However the text does provide some indication of the direction in which rural development policy within DFID might evolve. In particular it can be expected that the scope of rural interventions will expand to embrace a more holistic concept of rural livelihoods. This has several implications which DFID must address in the near future if this important opportunity for reorientation is not to be lost. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
