1.19 Building trust: Working Out of Poverty
1.19 Building trust: Working Out of Poverty
is a growing awareness of the need for a range of policies that are specific to
the problems faced by different communities and countries. Targeted
policies have the most effect when they act in combination to break the
poverty cycle. One of the most encouraging aspects of the new approach to
poverty eradication is therefore the emphasis on policy coherence based on
a comprehensive development framework. In attempting to make sure that
the international community acts coherently, it is vital to ensure that poverty
reduction strategies are owned and directed by communities and nations living
with poverty. Coherence should not be imposed. A “one-size-fits-all” approach
has not worked and will not work. We must enable communities and
countries to freely create and choose from a range of policy options to meet
their priorities.
The twin principles of ownership and participation that must underlie a
successful global strategy for poverty reduction imply a substantial degree of
decentralization of decisions about priorities, both to countries and, within
countries, to communities. However, decentralization without empowerment
will keep people trapped in poverty and vulnerable to the arbitrary
exercise of power by local elites or inside the home. The foundations for
effective ownership and participation in policies and programmes
for poverty reduction are the liberty to organize, the power that collective
action gives to individuals, and conditions under which real freedom of
choice is possible. In a very profound way, it requires a new sense of respect
for the opinion of people living in poverty by governments and international
organizations.
