Abstract
Development practitioners have been
working for half a century to help pull millions of people
out of poverty, disease, and fear. However, the challenge of
poverty remains enormous. The disparity in levels of income,
health, and education across countries grows greater, even
as levels of absolute poverty decline. Many countries have
made great achievements, but the lack of capacity to collect
their experiences, learn from them, and extract lessons to
emulate have kept their stories from being sufficiently
explored. Such great work could be adopted and adapted to
make remarkable change in other poor people's lives.
