The Poverty Report: Ideas, Policies and Pathways
2010, Vol. 3, Special Issue
3 , 1 (Special Issue)

The Montreal Development Forum organised by CASID featured three presentations. The one by Anthony O’Malley focused on and reviewed the major schools of thought and development policy associated with the poverty reduction strategies (PRS) formulated at the close of the previous decade.

We would like to welcome you to the first issue of Development Forum.
