About the product

The 1998 UNDP Poverty Report, Overcoming Human Poverty, documents the progress made to eradicate poverty since the 1995 World Summit for Social Development. A global survey, conducted by UNDP country offices, found that significant progress has been made, but much remains to be done. Extensive coverage is presented in the areas of: national poverty strategies; empowering the poor; redirecting development strategies; poverty-focused governance; sustaining environmental assets; the gender dimensions; new directions for poverty monitoring; and making aid work for the poor. Numerous statistical tables accompany the Report.
