Guildhall, Bath

Event press release

This roundtable discussion organised by the Wellbeing in Developing Countries ESRC Research Group (WeD) aimed to contribute to the ongoing reflection on poverty and its eradication. The struggle against poverty has been endorsed internationally through the commitment to the Millennium Development Goals. The discussion focused on the crucial question of aid effectiveness. Efforts to eradicate poverty will be compromised if aid agencies are not able to generate a clear and thorough understanding of the processes that make poverty happen, and then apply this systematically in their work.

The discussion was chaired by Jonathan Dimbleby. Panel members included Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem (Director of Justice Africa), Duncan Green (Head of Research, OXFAM), Joe Hanlon (OU and Advisor to Jubilee 2000) and Allister McGregor (Director WeD).
