This blog is a new project of the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) that aims to distribute news, views, research and comment on the issue of chronic poverty. CPRC is an international partnership of universities, research institutes and NGOs with the aims of:
- providing research, analysis and policy guidance
- stimulating national and international debate
- enabling people in chronic poverty to have a greater say in the formulation of policy and a greater share in the benefits of progress.
The launching of this blog is designed to coincide with the publication of the second Chronic Poverty Report. The Report details how many people suffer from chronic poverty, where they are, and the traps that underpin that poverty. It also outlines key policy responses that can tackle these problems.
Eradicating chronic poverty should not only be a global priority, but is a feasible goal for 2025 – if national governments and international organisations are willing to make the necessary political commitments and resource allocations.
Use the links on the right to access CRPC’s partners, or take a look at the Chronic Poverty Information page to get some basic information on the topic. We’d love to know your thoughts, so please leave some comments!
