Titre : Can the poor influence policy? : participatory poverty assessments in the developing world Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Caroline M. Robb, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1999 Collection : Directions in development Importance : 127 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Pauvreté Tags : Pauvreté Politique de développement Pays en développement Banque mondiale Index. décimale : 06.01 Développement - Généralités Résumé : An understanding of the nature and causes of poverty lies at the heart A of designing economic and social strategies for development. Much of the analytic work on poverty critical to such an understanding has treated the poor as an object of inquiry: Empirical investigations have been conducted to explain outcomes for the poor in terms of their characteristics, the environment in which they live, and the policies of governments and other agents toward them. This tradition of work has been critical to deepening our comprehension of poverty and of the options to alleviate it. There is another tradition of inquiry, however-one that seeks to understand the experience and causes of poverty from the perspective of the poor themselves. Investigations of the poor within this broad tradition include, for example, the work of anthropologists and others who have undertaken intensive studies of villages or poor urban areas spanning decades. In the context of development endeavors, a relatively recent component of this tradition involves the use of participatory techniques. (Although these techniques have often been linked to specific projects, they increasingly have been associated with broader diagnostic investigations of the nature and causes of poverty and of the potential for policy to make a difference.) A variety of techniques have been developed to support this participatory process. All have the aim of giving the poor a voice, a voice that is not distorted by the mind-set of the investigators. Typically, the techniques also have the objective of capturing the perspective of the poor in a way that can be communicated to decisionmakers in government and development agencies. Both aspects are important for the ultimate objective of empowering the poor.

Titre : Early child development : investing in the future Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Mary Eming Young, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : The World Bank Année de publication : 1996 Collection : Directions in development Importance : 102 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Enfants Tags : Enfants Education Travail des enfants Résumé : Early Childhood Development: Investing in the Future' offers the reader an overview of the many programs around the world that are targeting children from birth to the age of eight. These programs are run and supported by national governments, multinational organizations, bilateral donors, and a host of nongovernmental organizations. As part of the Bank's directions on development series, this report complements others in such areas as identifying cost-effective micronutrients, building human capital, and the cooperation of governmental and private groups in providing basic needs for the poor. The first half of this report focuses on the theory behind early intervention in childhood development. The second half briefly describes a variety of early child development programs now in operation. Each of these programs, no matter its cultural or geographical setting, shares the same goal of improving very young children's' development and therefore their prospects for the future. This concise outline of theory, proven results, and present practice in early child development is offered with the aim of showing the world development community how investment in young children can help break the vicious intergenerational cycle of poverty in the developing world.
