In 2005, Moving out of Poverty, Success from the Bottom Up, a study led by Deepa Narayan in the World Bank's Poverty Reduction Group, was launched to better understand how it is that some poor people succeed in moving out of poverty, while others remain in or fall into poverty. Combining a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, Moving out of Poverty provides a unique lens on the experiences and views of 60,000 people across 15 countries over a 10 year period. This meeting will see Deepa Narayan presenting the findings of the study.

Nine years ago, the World Bank issued a three-volume, 23-country participatory study of the lives and livelihoods, aspirations and realities of poor people, entitled Voices of the Poor. The findings expanded definitions of poverty to include issues voice and empowerment, which in turn shaped approaches to institutional reform. Voices of the Poor also demonstrated that poor people exhibit considerable strength, resilience and aspiration to succeed. In 2005, Moving out of Poverty, Success from the Bottom Up, a follow-up study led by Deepa Narayan in the World Bank's Poverty Reduction Group, was launched to better understand how it is that some poor people succeed in moving out of poverty, while others remain in or fall into poverty. Combining a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, Moving out of Poverty provides a unique lens on the experiences and views of 60,000 people across 15 countries over a 10 year period. At this meeting Deepa Narayan will present some of the findings from the study. Duncan Green and Caroline Harper will act as discussants.
