UNDP Poverty Report
Overcoming Human Poverty
Based on commitments made at the 1995 World Summit for Social Devel-
opment, this publication encourages developing countries to launch
full-scale campaigns against poverty. Yet despite having set ambi-
tious global targets for poverty reduction, donor countries are cut-
ting back on aid. A new global strategy against poverty needs to be
mounted - with more resources, a sharper focus and a stronger commit-
ment. Overcoming Human Poverty makes a special effort to assess a
broad range of national poverty programmes - to find out what is
working and what is not, and to draw out some general lessons for
better policies.
