 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'NOPOOR aims to build new knowledge on the nature and extent of poverty in developing countries to provide policymakers with a broader understanding of poverty. We believe that poverty cannot be tackled without a comprehensive approach. We know that poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon, but NOPOOR will explore new and uncharted dimensions. It is not just a picture of poverty, but also an understanding of poverty entry and exit processes that is needed for achieving MDGs and for making more effective the policies. Nineteen experienced partners are involved in the project, which includes ten teams from developing and emerging countries in three regions (Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia). These countries have implemented different poverty reduction policies, and this will form the basis for the comparative and case studies approach taken. The project will identify key mechanisms that explain the persistence and exacerbation of poverty, which have been altered by the insertion of developing countries into the globalization process, including trade, aid, FDI and migration, and by the growing interdependence of economies. Causes may differ between countries. This calls for policies and actions to be tailored to each poor country’s characteristics, including their access to resources, political regime, quality of institutions and governance. These points are developed by various approaches, including political economics, and different methods: surveys, econometric studies and case studies. NOPOOR will put significant resources into generating new knowledge from original surveys, database work and qualitative work. .It will also look forward to future scenarios. Conclusions will be oriented to policy recommendations. Beyond this contribution to scientific knowledge, NOPOOR will pursue an active policy of dissemination and capacity building, including training of young Southern researchers and the implementation of a permanent network with National Institutes of Statistics (NIS). The project is policy-oriented. NOPOOR will accompany the EU's agenda for its policy against poverty by consultations, guidance notes, and policy briefs on issues relating to the program. The review of MDG will constitute an important point of focus in the future years.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

An EU project aims to reduce poverty by understanding it. Comparing strategies from various countries plus factors including globalisation, the study clarifies aid-fragmentation, employment, education, and the impact of migration.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Poverty remains a serious and worsening problem globally. Developing appropriate remediation policies first requires study of the dynamics of poverty, including how and why people enter and leave it.

Finding such answers is the EU-funded project 'Enhancing knowledge for renewed policies against poverty' (http://www.nopoor.eu (NOPOOR)) . The objective is to extend understanding of factors affecting poverty via empirical study to assist with policy options. The collected information will be stored in a set of databases and eventually made available publicly.

The study compares poverty alleviation strategies in various countries, exploring why some strategies worked while others did not. The research investigates complex factors of globalisation via case studies. The NOPOOR consortium consists of 19 members, more than half from developing countries, and will run for five years till March 2017.

Work began with discussion about measurement issues including the many dimensions of poverty. The resulting questionnaire addresses the complexity.

Preliminary findings about the efficiency of aid in reducing poverty show that aid fragmentation has persisted, in spite of the Paris Declaration. Coordination among donors has weakened because of competition over trade and for political support. Evidence regarding new international aid players like China, does not indicate that they are any more likely to pursue their own interests than conventional donors.

Early results suggest a positive effect of globalisation on employment and wages. Yet concerns remain about labour conditions in Malagasy.

The study considered impact of migration on countries of origin through transfer of knowledge and goods. The case of Mali suggests that migrants' association abroad with hometown peers improved living conditions back home through better availability of schools and services. Regarding Senegal, migration to Europe also improved school enrolment in the home communities.

Data about education in Peru and Vietnam showed that social background affects educational achievement and aspirations among indigenous children. A study of rural India found that parents switch schools based on information about quality.

Several other areas of investigation are ongoing and results are pending.

The NOPOOR project will yield improved understanding of the drivers of poverty. The work will help to inform policy options.
