TOWARDS EFFECTIVE POVERTY
REDUCTION: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

 V M Rao

 

Abstract

The Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations and the strategy formulated by the World Bank to achieve them stress the need for a major shift from the present preoccupation of the anti-poverty strategies with meeting the minimalist poverty norms like $1 per day income. This paper explores the implications of this shift for the roles that the international community can play in helping the developing countries to cope with the emerging poverty perspectives.
