RETA 6245: Strengthening Pro-poor Policies in the Pacific - Subregional
Financed by Poverty Reduction Cooperation Fund

Project Summary

Building on earlier poverty work in the region, this TA is designed to advance the pro-poor policy agenda and capacity development strategy that has been formally established under Poverty Partnership Agreements in each Pacific developing member country. The TA will help strengthen the capacity of national systems and organizations that are required to implement pro-poor reforms in the Pacific developing member countries. This will also assist in the drafting of individual pro-poor policy briefs by Pacific Governments and civil societies, and dissemination of findings and recommendations. More specifically, this TA will undertake the following:

1. Review and prepare brief summary statements addressing the consensus on poverty reduction knowledge, including the state of the issues, the principles and options of what works for reducing hardship and poverty
2. Drafting of 12 PDMC economic and social updates
3. Preparation of pro-poor policy briefs on private sector environment and public sector productivity as appropriate
