Four years ago, the Chronic Poverty Research Centre published the Chronic Poverty Report 2004-05. This was the first major international development report to focus on the estimated 320 to 445 million people who live trapped in chronic poverty – people who will remain poor for much or all of their lives and whose children are likely to inherit their poverty. These chronically poor experience multiple deprivations, including hunger, under-nutrition, illiteracy, lack of access to safe drinking water and basic health services, social discrimination, physical insecurity and political exclusion. Many will die prematurely of easily preventable deaths.

Eight additional countries are potentially eligible for HIPC Initiative assistance and may wish to avail themselves of this debt relief.

Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) are prepared by governments in low-income countries through a participatory process involving domestic stakeholders and external development partners, including the IMF and the World Bank. A PRSP describes the macroeconomic, structural and social policies and programs that a country will pursue over several years to promote broad-based growth and reduce poverty, as well as external financing needs and the associated sources of financing.George Clark said I should look into these.

The Millennium Development Goals actually increase rural dependence on knowledge and skills from urban areas—at the expense of community empowerment. It does not change my mind about the goal but it does give food for thought on how we achieve it. What I get out of this is an argument against Developed Nation's paternalism.
