The objective of this paper is to review the economic, political and social processes influencing the nature, extent and depth of poverty in urban areas of the South. The task is primarily descriptive, seeking to summarise what is already known about these processes and to demarcate significant...
Investigating Chronic Poverty in West Africa
Abena D Oduro and Ivy Aryee (2003)
Working Paper No. 28
This review seeks to examine the dimensions of poverty in general and chronic poverty in particular in West African countries. The preparation of poverty reduction strategy papers by several countries in the sub-region as part of the HIPC initiative has created an incentive for the collection of...
Poverty Dynamics in Uganda: 1992 to 2000
John A Okidi and Andrew McKay (2003)
Working Paper No. 27
It is well known that Uganda has achieved impressive progress in poverty reduction over the 1990s, based to a large extent on a good macroeconomic performance in combination with a specific package of poverty eradication measures. Monetary poverty fell from 56% of the population in 1992/93 to 35%...
Targeted Transfers in Poor Countries: Revisiting the Trade Offs and Policy Options
Martin Ravallion (2003)
Working Paper No. 26
Two trade-offs have been widely seen to severely constrain the scope for attacking poverty using redistributive transfers in poor countries: an equity-efficiency trade off and an insurance-efficiency trade off. This article argues that recent economic theories and evidence call into question the...

Martin Prowse (2003)
Working Paper No. 24
This paper aims to analyse how the term 'vulnerability' has been used in the Chronic Poverty Research Centre's (CPRC) initial set of working papers. The intention of this analysis is to show that 'vulnerability' can be utilised in a variety of ways, with different meanings, and different...
The Political Economy of Chronic Poverty
Sarah Bracking (2003)
Working Paper No. 23
This paper critically analyses the relationship between political economy and the incidence of poverty. It argues that far from globalisation providing widespread opportunities for the poor in the short to medium term, the level of global poverty is likely to increase in absolute terms, both in...
Thinking 'Small' and the Understanding of Poverty: Maymana and Mofizul's Story
David Hulme (2003)
Working Paper No. 22
Much recent thinking on poverty and poverty reduction is 'big' in terms of its ideas, units of analysis, datasets, plans and ambitions. While recognising some of the benefits of such approaches this paper argues that researchers should counterbalance this through 'thinking small'. It illustrates...
Multidimensional Poverty in India: District Level Estimates
Aasha Kapur Mehta (2003)
CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
Spatial inequalities exist at all levels of disaggregation. However, the nature and extent of these inequalities vary with choice of indicator and geographical space over which comparisons are made. A given state may perform extremely well on all indicators but there may be districts within that...
Understanding Childhood Poverty in Rajasthan: Emerging Issues and Strategies
Kanchan Mathur, Shobhita Rajagopal and Pradeep Bhargava (2003)
CPRC-IIPA Working Paper
Recent participatory poverty assessments around the globe clearly document that children are the most vulnerable groups in society as they have little power or influence over the social processes that govern their lives and little ability to protect themselves from abuse (Narayan, et.al. 2000)....
