500 _aSummary: “A new global strategy against poverty needs to be mounted—with more resources, a sharper focus and a stronger commitment. Based on commitments made at the 1995 World Summit for Social Development, developing countries are being encouraged to launch full-scale campaigns against poverty. Yet despite having set ambitious global targets for poverty reduction, donor countries are cutting back on aid and failing to focus what remains on poverty”—(p. 8).
