Pro-Poor Growth: The Renewed War on Poverty
8 May 2001 (11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.)

(Organized by the Asian Development Bank)

What is Pro-Poor Growth?

There is wide recognition that "trickle-down" development is insufficient to reduce poverty quickly. Governments and international financial organizations have adopted pro-poor growth to accelerate poverty reduction. But what does this mean? How can pro-poor growth be promoted? What are the roles of government, private sector, civil society, and international financial institutions?

Discussion Topics

  • Clarify concept of pro-poor growth
  • Review successes, failures, and lessons learned of economic growth and poverty reduction
  • Consider practical ways to promote pro-poor growth
