Recognizing this challenge, the Government has emphasized social protection as a pillar of the Poverty Reduction Strategic Paper (PRSP), and well-functioning safety nets as an important element of the social protection strategy to cope with poverty.

For an overview, see the New York Times article at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/business/global/09kiva.html?em

For the original blog that started the discussion, see http://blogs.cgdev.org/open_book/2009/10/kiva-is-not-quite-what-it-seems.php... Read More

Global Poverty Project Climate Change poses a serious threat to the achievement of the MDGs. It is social justice issue: developing countries have 98% of the seriously affected and 99% of all deaths from weather-related disasters, along with over 90% of the total economic losses, while the 50 Least Developed Countries contribute less than 1% of global carbon emissions.
