{"product_id":"last-mile-in-ending-extreme-poverty","title":"Last Mile in Ending Extreme Poverty","description":"\u003cp\u003eViewed from a global scale, steady progress has been made in reducing extreme poverty—defined by the $1.25-a-day poverty line—over the past three decades. This success has sparked renewed enthusiasm about the possibility of eradicating extreme poverty within a generation. However, progress is expected to become more difficult, and slower, over time. This book will examine three central changes that need to be overcome in traveling the last mile: breaking cycles of conflict, supporting inclusive growth, and managing shocks and risks. By uncovering new evidence and identifying new ideas and solutions for spurring peace, jobs, and resilience in poor countries, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Mile in Ending Extreme Poverty\u003c\/i\u003e will outline an agenda to inform poverty reduction strategies for governments, donors, charities, and foundations around the world.\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Peace: Breaking the Cycle of Conflict\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExternal finance for state and peace building\u003c\/i\u003e, Marcus Manuel and Alistair McKechnie, Overseas Development Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReforming international cooperation to improve the sustainability of peace\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce Jones, Brookings and New York University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBridging state and local communities through livelihood improvements\u003c\/i\u003e, Ryutaro Murotani, JICA, and Yoichi Mine, JICA-RI and Doshisha University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePostconflict trajectories and the potential for poverty reduction\u003c\/i\u003e, Gary Milante, SIPRI\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Jobs: Supporting Inclusive Growth\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStructural change and Africa's poverty puzzle\u003c\/i\u003e, John Page, Brookings\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublic goods for private jobs: lessons from the Pacific\u003c\/i\u003e, Shane Evans, Michael Carnahan and Alice Steele, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Government of Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStrategies for inclusive development in agrarian Sub-Saharan countries\u003c\/i\u003e, Akio Hosono, JICA-RI\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe role of agriculture in poverty reduction\u003c\/i\u003e, John McArthur, Brookings, UN Foundation, and Fung Global Institute\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Resilience: Managing Shocks and Risks\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironmental stress and conflict\u003c\/i\u003e, Stephen Smith, George Washington University and Brookings\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eToward community resilience: The role of social capital after disasters\u003c\/i\u003e, Go Shimada, JICA-RI\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial protection and the end of extreme poverty\u003c\/i\u003e, Raj Desai, Georgetown University and Brookings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255449047384,"sku":"9780815726333","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780815726333.jpg?v=1769689813","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/last-mile-in-ending-extreme-poverty","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
