Poverty and Growth
|
|
|
|
| The Poverty and Growth Program (PGP), formerly called the Attacking Poverty Program (APP), aims to build the capacity of poor and middle-income countries to design and implement effective poverty reduction strategies. Customized “country learning programs” are used to leverage the resources of the development community to fight against the deprivation, vulnerability of powerlessness of poverty. |
 |
| |
| For low income countries, this support takes place, during all stages, within the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) framework. For middle income countries, PGP assists in either the overall poverty strategy or in analysis and evaluation of a specific set of poverty reduction policies. |
