This report by the DAC network on poverty reduction (POVNET) shows how aid can be more effective in reducing poverty by paying greater attention to employment outcomes and by engaging in partnership with developing countries, to provide the financial and technical support in their nascent social protection systems. Such measures will not only help promote the poverty reduction MDG, but are equally important components of strategies to lead developing countries out of recession.
