Best Practices in Poverty Reduction : An Analytical Framework

Poverty reduction has come to be proclaimed as the core function of international development agencies, including the World Bank.

This volume focuses on the key role of best practice on strengthening anti-poverty strategies.

The authors explore how to transform best practice from impressionistic "success stories" into a more precise and reliable analytical tool.

They explore the factors influencing the establishment of a particular anti-poverty project or strategy asbest practice. And they examine the critical policy-relevant aspect of the conditions under which a best practice, once identified, can be successfully transferred to other situations and countries.

The book also includes a comprehensive guide to best practice sites on the Internet.
