Poverty reduction is a key focus of the Millennium Development Goals and is at the heart of international, national and NGO development objectives and activities. Recent achievements in poverty reduction have varied widely across and within countries, regions, and social groups.

This programme focuses on rural areas which, despite growing urbanisation, continue to be home to the majority of the world’s poorest people. It examines the complex nature of poverty, its causes, and processes of poverty reduction.
