First published in 1999, this volume explores the nature of poverty
and interprets it across a range of policy reforms and project
interventions in different geographical settings. It is the
culmination of a cooperative effort between development academics
and professionals from diverse national and disciplinary
backgrounds, who came together for two events: 1) The Development
Study Association's Rural Development Study Group Symposium on the
theme of the book's title, hosted by the Rural Poverty Alleviation
Programme at the University of Manchester's Institute for
Development Policy and Management. 2) The Commonwealth
Secretariat's Regional Workshop for East and Central Africa on
Strategies for Poverty Reduction. The volume is underpinned by the
conviction that it is morally and ethically repugnant that over 1.3
billion people live in conditions of endemic hunger and poverty
while the wealth of a minority continues to increase exponentially.
The authors offer wide ranging analysis of some of the causes of
this situation, and of the efforts being made to eliminate or
alleviate absolute poverty.
