Can the Poor Influence Policy? Participatory Poverty Assessments in the Developing World

The second edition of this book details how to include the poor using the Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA) method. This method was developed by the World Bank in partnerships with NGOs, government, and academic institutions and has been implemented in over 60 countries worldwide during the last decade. Participatory Poverty Assessments are highlighting the potentially significant role the poor can play in analyzing poverty, developing interventions for poverty reduction, and evaluating the effect of projects and policies. This book also draws on new PPA case examples.Robb, Caroline M. is the author of 'Can the Poor Influence Policy?
