Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries is of overwhelming concern in the development agendas of the countries of Asia and Africa and has attracted public intervention to alleviate poverty. Studies in this volume include five countries from Africa, viz., Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania and three from Asia, viz., India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. They cover a set of themes to explain poverty reduction process in their respective areas, including the causes of poverty, rate and composition of economic growth, macro economic policies, design of the poverty reduction programmes and a critical review of their implementation.
Using a comparative approach, the book examines the theoretical and practical challenges developing countries face in bringing about policy reforms to the forefront of their development agendas. This volume will be an essential reading for development policy makers and practitioners in both governmental as well as non-governmental agencies.
