Conclusion David Hulme, David Lawson and Lawrence Ado-Kofie IndexReviewsAfter 50 years of 'development', the number of Africans living in dire poverty remains tragically and disgracefully high. This book brings together important new insights on the understanding that outsiders themselves must achieve before they can begin to think about reaching the poorest and changing their reality. --Ian Smillie, author of Freedom from Want and Diamonds If responding to extreme poverty was easy or obvious, the world would surely have figured it out by now. But it's neither easy nor obvious, so we need the types of context-specific insights exemplified by these excellent chapters, which are grounded in an informed dialogue between careful research, hard-won experience and ethical advocacy. --Michael Woolcock, World Bank and Harvard University Author InformationDavid Lawson is a Research Fellow, Global Poverty Research Group and Brooks World Poverty Institute; he is an author of journal articles on poverty, health and gender. He is also the Convenor of postgraduate programmes on Development Economics at the University of Manchester.
