6.3 Participatory skill development: For-profit and NGO training activities
'Participatory skill development' is perhaps the best term to describe the underlying rationale of an altogether new approach to skill development among the poor that has been adopted by many NGOs.

Training and the Poor: Learning to change
This paper explores the role of training in assisting individuals who are economically vulnerable and socially excluded (EVSE) in developing countries. Roughly speaking, almost one in four of the population in the developing world lives in absolute poverty and this number continues to increase rather than decrease. Poverty reduction is now at the top of the policy agendas of most bilateral donor agencies and international development organisations within and outside the United Nations system as well as a growing number of governments. Ambitious targets to halve poverty by 2015 have been set by the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD (see UNDP, 1998; OECD, 1997).

Executive Summary: Learning to change
In the context of mass poverty in most developing countries, the critical role of training in furnishing badly needed skills to improve productivity, incomes and equitable access to employment opportunities seems particularly obvious and straightforward.

African Countries Focus on Microfinance: Twelve African Nations Engaged in the International Year of Microcredit to Date
Half of the population in Africa lives on less than one dollar a day. More than half the population has no access to safe drinking water. More than two million infants die annually before reaching their first birthday.[1] Such is the harsh reality of the scale of poverty in Africa. The Millennium Development Goals and the objective to halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015 has driven a number of regional and national initiatives focused on poverty eradication in Africa based on local needs and priorities.

The Role of Microfinance in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Zambia: The Rainbow Model Provides a Future for AIDS Orphans
Poverty and HIV/AIDS constitute a vicious circle. Poverty creates vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS leads to poverty. Unfortunately, the interventions of the national and international community are not moving as quickly as the desperation and the loss of hope in the people coping with the pandemic at the grassroots level.

2.4 Agricultural workers and rural communities: Working Out of Poverty
A better understanding of the social and economic dynamics of rural communities is critical to the reduction and eradication of poverty. The world’s poorest countries are those most dependent on agriculture. Threequarters of the people in extreme poverty live in rural areas.
2.8 The foundations of a decent work strategy for poverty reduction: Working Out of Poverty
Most analysts of the nature and causes of poverty agree that growth in per capita income is essential to reducing poverty and that persistent growth failures are accompanied by a persistent failure to reduce poverty. However, they have not found a stable relationship between the rate of average per capita growth and the rate of poverty reduction.
3.5 Building local development through cooperatives: Working Out of Poverty
The participation of people living in poverty in policies to improve their livelihood and counteract social exclusion and vulnerability is increasingly emphasized in poverty reduction strategies.
5.6 A coherent framework for national and local action: Working Out of Poverty
Increased in-depth analysis of the multifaceted experience of poverty is leading to a growing awareness of the need for a range of policies that are specific to the problems faced by different communities and countries. Given that the causes of poverty are many and interconnected, targeted policies have most effect when they act in combination to break cycles of poverty. One of the most encouraging aspects of the new approach to poverty reduction and eradication is therefore the emphasis on policy coherence, based on a comprehensive development framework.
Executive Summary: Learning to change
In the context of mass poverty in most developing countries, the critical role of training in furnishing badly needed skills to improve productivity, incomes and equitable access to employment opportunities seems particularly obvious and straightforward.
