What works for the poorest? : poverty reduction programmes for the world's extreme poor / David Lawson and others - Warwickshire : Practical publishing, 2010 - xviii, 282 p. 23 cm

Poverty reduction has become the central goal of development policies over the last decade but there is a growing realization that the poorest people rarely benefit from poverty reduction programs. Microfinance programs can help poor people improve their lives but generally such programs do not reach the extremely poor and the chronic poor: casual laborers in remote rural areas, ethnic and indigenous minorities, older people, widows, migrants, bonded laborers and others.
