STAYING POOR: CHRONIC POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY
IDPM, University of Manchester, 7 to 9 April 2003
Hundreds of millions of people will live poor and die poor. They will pass on their poverty to the next generation. Their numbers are uncounted and their needs unattended to.
300 policy makers, researchers and NGOs met in Manchester from 7 - 9 April for a major international conference: Staying Poor: Chronic Poverty and Development Policy hosted by the Chronic Poverty Research Centre.
The meeting brought high level representatives of government such as Gerald Ssendaula, Minister of Finance in Uganda and Pronab Sen, head of India's powerful Planning Commission, together with NGOs and researchers working with chronically poor people at grass roots level.
