Relying on contributions from the International Movement ATD Fourth
World, this book deals with questions such as: What does it mean to
live in poverty, and especially in extreme poverty? How can very
poor people be reached through development projects? How can we
assess whether projects succeed in changing the lives of the
poorest individuals? In answering these questions, the emphasis is
on exploring what type of knowledge is needed to fight extreme
poverty. A key argument is that apart from academic knowledge, a
concerted effort is needed to listen to the knowledge of poor
people themselves, as well as to the knowledge of practitioners who
are engaged with them on a daily basis to fight poverty. After the
introductory chapter, the text of a speech by Joseph Wresinski
(founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World) at a
congress of social scientists held at UNESCO, is reproduced. The
next contribution is based on comments by the International
Movement ATD Fourth World on the World Bank's 'World Development
Report 2004 Making Services Work for Poor People'. Thereafter, case
studies are provided on participatory approaches to attacking
extreme poverty in both developing countries (Madagascar and
Tanzania, as well as Bolivia, Guatemala, and Peru) and developed
countries (the United States and Belgium).
