Case Studies

Nearly 100 cases representing most economic and social sectors served to illustrate and analyze successful and not so successful attempts to take poverty reduction initiatives to scale. They have been used as learning material in global dialogues, presented and discussed at the conference, and incorporated into postconference publications.

The Country case studies discuss and analyze poverty reduction from a countrywide perspective, while Thematic cases present examples of poverty reduction in specific sectors. You can also browse all the cases studies by region. Most full-length cases and case study summaries may now be downloaded in PDF.
