Written by Caroline Blanchard, Xavier Godinot, Chantal Laureau and Quentin Wodon First, working with people trapped in extreme poverty requires a long-term process, not a one-shot intervention.Second, programs that attack extreme poverty should build a new social contract that allows those who endure it (and other excluded people) to take an active role in revamping the institutions that redistribute assets and control decision making.Third, this approach requires a new relationship between people trapped in extreme poverty and external agents, including government officials and civil society volunteers. This new relationship should derive from a process of mutual transformation, where each agent strives to share his own knowledge and to learn from others. http://www.worldbank.org/afr/findings/english/find277.htm (HTML)
