According to International Poverty Center, UNDP paper Sept. 2004.

Growth (economics) alone is not enough to reduce poverty, yet most country use GDP as growth indicatorConventional growth and trickle down concept does not work for the poorGrowth may create povertyGDP does not tell about distribution Pro-poor growth concept to reduce poverty must be put into considerationPro-poor growth must include reduction of inequityIt should benefit the poor proportionately more than the non-poor

Measurement

Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate(PEGR)Pro-poor, PEGR is larger than actual growth rate when incomes of the poor grow more than the average income.

Poverty

• Poverty is broad, multidimensional, variable, and subject to local norms or perspectives.

• Poverty can be measured in terms of physical and psychological dimensions.

• Estimated total of 1.2 billion people live in poverty as defined by the international poverty line of average daily consumption equivalent to US $1 per day per capita (World Bank, 2001).

Other measurement of poverty

Pro-poor development and income generation

What happen to the poor people in conventional development process?

Why do we have to go for pro-poor in development ?

How can you really make them better off?

What kind of data and knowledge do we need to formulate plan and assistant to help them?

To assist the poor why we have to helpthem generate incomes?Can there be other alternatives, besides money income,to assist them?What should be those alternatives?

How can we assist them to generate income?

Instead of working with the poor can we work with the rich to get the poor better off?

How?

How can we help the poor to generate incomes?

Why the rich do not give back or revive the rural or earth sincerely and truly for gaining so much, directly or indirectly, from the rural or earth Can we help make a happy world as a whole?

Well being is livelihood plus happiness but bothwell being and happiness are abstract

What have you gain now are mostly from your own tacit knowledge put together. I simply facilitate. Thanks

Good intention or hidden agenda?
