Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How can we ensure effective action on urban poverty? How do we bridge the gap between practitioners and those deciding policy? There is a serious communication gap between those at the top who formulate policy and those below who implement it. This book looks at how development institutions are trying to improve the capacity of "micro-level practitioners" to influence policy level decision-making and budgeting on urban development. It includes eight country-based case studies from which the editors draw guidelines then give pointers on how to capitalize on past successful linkages and how to deal successfully with restraints and gaps. Essential readling for practitioners and policy makers in all poverty alleviation work, for donor agencies, NGOs, service providers, community groups, academics and students of development. This book makes a particular contribution to achieving evidence-based pro-poor policy in the urban sector. It is based on eight country-based studies. It is ideal for policy makers, practitioners, donor agencies, NGOs, service providers, community groups, academics and students of development. Owner's Name inside.
