Shanghai Conference: Conference Sessions
The conference in Shanghai was part of a nine-month global learning
process that brought together developing country participants,
including heads of state and key development experts who shared
their experiences and policy lessons learned from poverty reduction
initiatives around the world.
More than a hundred case studies from around the world reflecting
the multidimensional aspects of poverty formed the backbone of
the conference. These cases were reviewed and analyzed through
multi-country interactive videoconferences, online dialogues,
and field visits to selected case study sites. Together they offered
rich lessons about the importance of political commitment, institutional
innovation, learning and experimentation, external catalysts,
and more. The conference plenary and thematic sessions were built
around interactive discussions of many of these case studies.
Three roundtable discussions were also held
for ministerial-level participants and development partners.
More information on conference plenary and thematic sessions and
roundtables is provided below. Each conference session
page presents a brief summary of the session as well as links
to related case studies, field visits, global dialogues, documentaries,
and other multimedia presentations. It also contains links to
videotaped sessions on the Shanghai Web site that can be viewed
using either low or high speed connections.
