Waging the Global War on Poverty: Strategies and Case Studies (Development Centre Seminars)

By Raundi Halvorson-Quevedo

Poverty reduction is a complex issue, involving numerous players in a host of economic, social, political and environmental policy fields. The originality of this publication is in its approach to identifying best practice, which is as open and thorough as the state of the art will allow. How realistic is it to seek to cut extreme poverty by half by the year 2015? What are the most effective strategies employed by donors? What lessons can be learned from the experience of the developing countries? This publication approaches these unresolved questions by giving a broad overview of general poverty-reduction strategies and objectives. It also presents five particularly enlightening case studies on Bolivia, C'te d'Ivoire, the State of Kerala in India, Malaysia, and Uganda.
