If responding to extreme poverty was easy or obvious, the world would surely have figured it out by now. But it's neither easy nor obvious, so we need the types of context-specific insights exemplified by these excellent chapters, which are grounded in an informed dialogue between careful research, hard-won experience and ethical advocacy. --Michael Woolcock, World Bank and Harvard University

But it's neither easy nor obvious, so we need the types of context-specific insights exemplified by these excellent chapters, which are grounded in an informed dialogue between careful research, hard-won experience and ethical advocacy. --Michael Woolcock, World Bank and Harvard University
