CPRC Research Themes

Conceptualisation of poverty dynamics and persistent poverty

The CPRC was founded on the premise that there is an inadequate understanding of the challenges faced by the 900 million people who will still be living in poverty in 2015 even if the MDG targets are fully achieved – those likely to have benefited least, or suffered most, from contemporary development efforts, for whom emergence from poverty is therefore most difficult.
