Book Synopsis The Role of Government and the Private Sector in Fighting Poverty by : George Psacharopoulos
Download or read book The Role of Government and the Private Sector in Fighting Poverty written by George Psacharopoulos and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation World Bank Technical Paper No. 346. Although private sector expansion may relieve governments from certain tasks, it also imposes new responsibilities. This paper examines the relative roles of the private and public sectors in the implementation of a two-track strategy for poverty reduction. The first track requires sustained broad-based economic growth that makes efficient use of labor, the main asset owned by the poor. The second promotes investment in people or human resources by ensuring basic social services that are accessible to the poor. Individual chapters examine social safety nets and issues in education, health, population, and nutrition.
Book Synopsis The Private Sector and Poverty Reduction by : Kate Raworth
Download or read book The Private Sector and Poverty Reduction written by Kate Raworth and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2015 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many commentators claim a key role for the private sector in reducing poverty. This can be achieved through direct benefits, such as the adoption of ethical business practices and the provision of employment, goods, and services to the poor; and through indirect positive impacts on macro-economic policy and business development. This paper argues that the likelihood of business impacts being pro-poor depends also on wider policy and structural conditions. These include the importance of poor people in a company's business model, and the length of local investment and commitment that this demands. Case studies of three companies demonstrate the importance of legislation and civil society as catalysts for pro-poor change in business. Leadership from within the company and a strong business case are also essential. However, multiple entrenched problems with modern capitalist systems work against positive change within international business. Overcoming or mitigating these will be necessary if the pro-poor potential of he private sector is to be realised.

Book Synopsis GOVERNANCE AND POVERTY REDUCTION by : AMITA SINGH
Download or read book GOVERNANCE AND POVERTY REDUCTION written by AMITA SINGH and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2008-12-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty reduction in South Asia is a precondition for sustaining any form of reforms in governance. The new public management reforms which started in South Asia from Sri Lanka taking the initiative in 1977–78 have been a decisive break from the previously practised State driven protectionist system. Investment in the region has been rising and even per capita income has shown some increase, yet the state has not been able to lead these reforms appropriately and efficiently. Thus poverty has not been reduced, ordinary people continue to languish under government programmes and the socially excluded remain outside the mainstream decision making bodies. Governance in South Asia faces the single most important challenge of poverty reduction which continues to blunt and disfigure capacity, self esteem and service delivery system to the poor. This book attempts to bring out microlevel studies from many regions in South Asia to address issues of entrepreneurship, knowledge and professionalism. As an initiator of the idea on developing a critique to the straightjacketed ‘best practice’ research, this book questions the standard practice in evaluating administrative reforms as not being the true base for knowledge. Administrators need to balance capacity and control in every implementation programme. Confining to the knowledge of ‘best practices’ may conceal enormous amount of information from the ‘less than best’ practices which may be necessary to sustain good initiatives of public managers. This book highlights areas of active networking, partnerships and collaborations amongst state and non-state bodies, NGOs and specialist Science and Technical Organizations. The true nature of governance is explained and demonstrated through the processes which otherwise pass off undetected in macro-understanding of governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poverty reduction strategy (PRS) review has confirmed that in the face of all the challenges and changes, the basic framework for poverty reduction comprising the three pillars - pro-poor, sustainable economic growth; social development; and good governance - has retained its relevance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, a group of distinguished authors addresses three broad questions: what broad strategies and macroeconomic policies best support poverty reduction efforts in Asia; what role should targeted antipoverty interventions play, and how should such interventions be designed; and how is poverty measured, what new approaches are needed, and how does measurement affect our understanding of poverty.

Book Synopsis Poverty Reduction for Inclusive Sustainable Growth in Developing Asia by : Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary
Download or read book Poverty Reduction for Inclusive Sustainable Growth in Developing Asia written by Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides practical policy recommendations that are useful for developing Asia and for accelerating poverty reduction plans in the rest of the world. Poverty reduction in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. In developing Asia, rapid growth in countries and sub-regions such as China, India, and Southeast Asia has lifted millions out of poverty, but progress has been uneven. On the other hand, the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the global economic recession that it has caused are pushing millions of people back into poverty. Poverty reduction, inclusive growth, and sustainable development are inseparable, and poverty reduction is the premise for sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a bold commitment to finish what we started and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. However, because of the current global recession, the world is not on track to end poverty by 2030. Given the aforementioned situation, if we plan to achieve the no-poverty target in line with the SDGs, governments need to reconsider their policies and economies need to allocate their resources for this aim. Owing to the importance of the topic, this book provides several thematic and empirical studies on the roles of small and medium-sized enterprises, local businesses and trusts, international remittances and microfinance, energy security and energy efficiency in poverty reduction, and inclusive growth.

Download or read book Poverty and Power written by John Cameron and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together thirteen contributors on the fundamental causes of poverty in Asia, showing the variety of ways in which poverty is generated, reproduced and deepened or reduced by the exercise of power. This central concept of power is not confined to the actions of the state but is also used to analyze the operations of market forces and institutions rooted in civil society. Contributions center on case studies from South and Southeast Asia, and touch upon the full range of activities from which poorer people can derive incomes. This wide-focus study, which touches on the development experience of many countries in South and Southeast Asia in a range of rural and urban employment activities, will be useful to all those interested in understanding the causes of poverty and in planning policies for its alleviation.
