"Viewed from a global scale, steady progress has been made in
reducing extreme poverty-defined by the $1.25-a-day poverty
line-over the past three decades. This success has sparked renewed
enthusiasm about the possibility of eradicating extreme poverty
within a generation. However, progress is expected to become more
difficult, and slower, over time. This book will examine three
central changes that need to be overcome in traveling the last
mile: breaking cycles of conflict, supporting inclusive growth, and
managing shocks and risks. By uncovering new evidence and
identifying new ideas and solutions for spurring peace, jobs, and
resilience in poor countries, The Last Mile in Ending Extreme
Poverty will outline an agenda to inform poverty reduction
strategies for governments, donors, charities, and foundations
around the world. Contents Part I: Peace: Breaking the Cycle of
