Policy

An important goal of the CPRC is to provide research, analysis and policy guidance that will contribute to the reduction of chronic poverty. This policy area of the website is intended to present further relevant findings from our research in a concise and accessible manner. 

• An introduction and overview of Policy.
• Chronic Poverty Reports: presents our flagship policy analysis publication, the Chronic Poverty Report 2008, along with more than 30 related policy papers and briefings, and previous Reports (global and country-specific).
• Policies for the chronically poor, presents our briefing papers on key policies to eliminate chronic poverty.
• Chronic poverty and wider development debates, showing how chronic poverty links to other development issues, such as around the MDGs.
• Meeting policy challenges, discussing particular challenges from the politics of change and reform to the use of data and research.

Our country pages are also highly relevant: these give contact details for our partners, an overview of chronic poverty and poverty policy in their countries, and links to their work.

Much of our policy work is ongoing, please check these pages for further work and updates.
