Abstract:

This toolkit serves as a background document for the round-table dialogue 'Turning rhetoric into action: building effective partnerships to combat extreme poverty and exclusion', taking place in New York on October 17, 2008. It also serves as the framework of a more comprehensive document that will be developed with the participation of other organisations experienced in participatory projects and research in tackling poverty. It responds to the growing awareness that despite large efforts to include people living in extreme poverty in the development of policies and programmes, the participation of the very poorest people continues to present a particular challenge.
