Conceptual Framework

    Examples of successful poverty reduction have been associated with certain implementation factors. The Global Learning Process and the Conference in Shanghai will discuss and analyze these factors to help shed light on how successful policies, programs and projects may be scaled up to achieve significant poverty reduction outcomes at the national, regional, and global levels to significantly reduce poverty as measured against the Millennium Development Goal targets which include both income poverty reduction and improvement in basic social indicators.

The implementation  factors are:

• Commitment and Political Economy for Change

• Institutional Innovation

• Learning and Experimentation

• External Catalyst

There are two strategic pillars  indicating what governments and communities can do to create a good environment for sustainable growth and poverty reduction, and for ensuring that the development process is inclusive:

• Investment climate

• Social inclusion

Analyzing how the implementation factors and the strategic pillars interact allows us to understand better how to successfully scale up programs, polices and projects in order to reach significant poverty reduction outcomes. Some 70 case study examples from around the world have been identified and analyzed. They form the backbone for this global exchange.
