ERADICATING POVERTY IS DIFFERENT FROM REDUCING IT!
• Vulnerability reduction is less – in some regions; risks higher
• Human capital formation less pronounced
• Differences across groups
• Interventions over the life cycle; nutrition and health
• Remaining poor often dependent on degrading environments/ ecostystems
• Escaping poverty possibly harder- in part due to progress made
