ODI aims to close the gap between two themes – poverty and economic growth – that have followed separate paths. The Growth and Equity Programme is integral to this, taking the stance that poverty analysis is critical for effective policies to enable inclusive growth. The poor are not all the same, and our research reveals diverse groups that can contribute to growth, as well as benefit from it.

This programme's approach is designed to complement and bridge the growth related work being carried out on related issues across ODI, including work by our programmes on Protected Livelihoods and Agricultural Growth, Growth and Investment and Social Development. The programme is also heavily involved in the Chronic Poverty Research Centre's work on poverty, equity and growth.
