Description
Summary:Poverty reduction has come to be proclaimed as the core function of international development agencies, including the World Bank. This book focuses on a notion of best practice, and the key role which it can potentially play in strengthening anti-poverty strategies. Contributors explore the social and organizational factors influencing the transition of an ordinary particular anti-poverty project or strategy into becoming established as best practice. They examine the critical policy-relevant aspect of the conditions under which a best practice, once identified, and embedded as it is in a social setting, can be successfully transferred to other situations and countries.
