Abstract: Abstract This review of seven poor countries reveals a wide range of opportunities for external agencies which seek to support or influence the pursuit of poverty reduction (PR). These include the need for: more effective economic policies to promote employment-creating growth; a shift of resources and services into rural areas; a reorientation of public social services and an improvement in their quality at basic levels; the creation of mechanisms to assist poorer regions and districts; better targeting of credit and other measures to help the poor; a redistribution of land ownership and use; strengthened institutional capacities at local levels.
