Why has growth been more successful in reducing poverty in some countries than in others? How can poor women and men best participate in, contribute to and benefit from the growth process? Why is pro-poor growth important and what can donors do to promote it? This book provides policy guidance to donors on these issues, based on recent work of the DAC. It pays special attention to the role of private sector development, agriculture and infrastructure in pro-poor growth -- areas that were neglected by many donors during the 1990s but are currently receiving renewed attention.
