The failure of attempts to tackle global poverty have bred cynicism and ''compassion fatigue''. Eradicating Extreme Poverty provides an urgently needed fresh approach which will re-energise action on this issue.
Rejecting traditional ''top-down'' approaches, Xavier Godinot and his colleagues start from the experiences, capabilities and strategies of the poor themselves. They argue that the first step is a close connection with poor communities followed by a commitment to take action alongside them. Life-stories from Burkina Faso, France, Peru and the Philippines are used to show that the poor must be involved in their own liberation.
After decades of failed development policies, this book outlines a radical new approach which will enliven debate amongst policy-makers, researchers, students and academics.
