Development Policy Review

PPPG Home
Poverty and Public Policy Our goal is to contribute to policy and practice for effective, sustainable poverty reduction. We provide high-quality applied research and advice to policy makers, political actors and the public. Our premise is that some of the critical unresolved development issues of our day lie at the intersections of poverty and inequality, country policy processes, political economy and the delivery and management of aid.
