Promoting Pro-Poor Growth: Lessons from China's Experience at Home and in Africa

on 21-Feb-2008

Since the late 1970s, China has learnt much from the successes and failures of its diverse domestic poverty reduction initiatives. Despite the political, socio-cultural and demographic differences, many of these lessons can also be applied in Africa.

The DAC Network on Poverty Reduction (POVNET) and the Chinese government organised a workshop February 21 to review China’s experience in poverty reduction, concluding that increased cooperation between the DAC members and China would be beneficial for both sides.
