Chronic Poverty Research Centre is an international
partnership of universities, research institutes and NGOs
which exists:
- to
focus attention on chronic poverty
- to
stimulate national and international debate
- to
deepen understanding of the causes of chronic poverty
- to
provide research, analysis and policy guidance that will
contribute to its reduction.
For people living in marginal rural areas, the disabled, older
people, child-headed 'households', displaced people and refugees,
poverty is frequently carried from one generation to the next.
Exclusion and social discrimination are persistent and often
invisible to policy makers.
CPRC
expects its research and analysis to result in policy relevant
findings which will be useful to all those working to combat
poverty. This will include people in community level organisations,
government and official agencies, NGOs, political parties,
other researchers, the media, trade unions and the private
sector. CPRC was established in 2000 with initial funding
from the United Kingdom's Department for International Development
(DFID).
