About the product

The reduction of poverty has become one of the highest priorities of international development. Empowering the Poor analyzes conceptual frameworks and initiatives related to poverty reduction and identifies approaches taken by major international organizations. It explores the conceptual dimensions of poverty and local governance and the comparative advantages of decentralized governance in tackling poverty. This publication puts forward the argument that a greater involvement of local populations in decision-making may contribute to significant poverty reduction.
