Aid Distribution and the MDGs
Bob Baulch (2004)
Working Paper No. 48
The United Nations and other aid agencies are calling for aid to be more than doubled so that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) can be achieved by 2015. Unfortunately, as this paper shows, many important donors currently distribute their aid in ways that are not consistent with the MDGs. It...
Fracture Points in Social Policies for Chronic Poverty Reduction
Kate Bird and Nicola Pratt (2004)
Working Paper No. 47
This paper examines the fracture points, or areas of weakness and failure, in social policy formation - from agenda setting through to policy formation and its legitimisation. It suggests why it is that despite clearly identified severe and widespread problems, which have been shown to drive and...

Sharifa Begum and Binayak Sen (2004)
Working Paper No. 46
Five ideas constitute the central message of this study. First, urban rickshaw pullers come from a very poor economic background consistent with the characteristics of chronic poverty.

The Influence of Ill Health on Chronic and Transient Poverty: Evidence from Uganda
David Lawson (2004)
Working Paper No. 41
The paper uses nationally representative household panel data to investigate if ill health is important in influencing poverty persistence and transitions in Uganda, a country that was both at the centre of Africa's HIV/AIDS pandemic and experienced impressive poverty reduction during the 1990's....

The aim of this paper is to document and explain the changing nature of urban poverty in East Africa since 1970, in particular in the two cities of Kampala and Nairobi. It will argue that the concept of proleterianization is helpful in understanding the changes in urban poverty and...

This identifies the always poor, usually poor, churning poor, occasionally poor and never poor. The first two categories are chronically poor, the next two transitory poor...
