Practitioners and Poverty Alleviation: Influencing urban policy from the ground up - Softcover
* Supports pro-poor policy for urban development
* Based around eight country-based studies
This book explores how to improve the process of effective urban poverty action, and shows how to bridge the gap between practitioners and those making policy decisions.
There is a serious communication gap between those at the top who formulate policy and those below who implement it. Development institutions are trying to improve the capacity of "micro-level practitioners" to influence policy level decision making and budgeting.
The first part of the book looks at networking and partnerships as a mean to influence policy. It explores how successfully southern institutions have been able to provide their northern partners with clear and full information about the realities on the ground; and explores some of the implications of these mechanisms for the future.
The second part consists of eight country-based case studies which discuss how practitioners in both southern and northern NGOs have faced the problem of communication between workers at different levels of a development institution. It discusses how the lessons learned from implementation can be transmitted to middle level service providers, and from them to policy makers.
In conclusion the editors draw guidelines from the case studies, giving pointers on how to capitalize on past successful linkages and to deal successfully with constraints and gaps.
