What Works for Africa's Poorest: Programmes and Policies for the Extreme Poor

Book Overview

Well-designed microfinance can help poor people improve their lives but generally such programmes do not reach the poorest. As a result, NGOs and donors have started to mount programmes explicitly targeting the extreme poor, the poorest and the ultra-poor. This book examines such initiatives and identifies 'what works for the poorest' in Africa.
