How can very poor people be reached through development projects? How can we assess whether projects succeed in changing the lives of the poorest individuals? In answering these questions, the emphasis is on exploring what type of knowledge is needed to fight extreme poverty. A key argument is that apart from academic knowledge, a concerted effort is needed to listen to the knowledge of poor people themselves, as well as to the knowledge of practitioners who are engaged with them on a daily basis to fight poverty. After the introductory chapter, the text of a speech by Joseph Wresinski (founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World) at a congress of social scientists held at UNESCO, is reproduced. The next contribution is based on comments by the International Movement ATD Fourth World on the World Bank s World Development Report 2004 Making Services Work for Poor People. Thereafter, case studies are provided on participatory approaches to attacking extreme poverty in both developing countries (Madagascar and Tanzania, as well as Bolivia, Guatemala, and Peru) and developed countries (the United States and Belgium).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ASSETSACCESS TO KNOWLEDGEACCESS TO SERVICESADOLESCENTSAFFORDABILITYAID AGENCIESBABYBASIC HEALTHBASIC NEEDSCENSUSESCHARACTERCHARITYCHILD MORTALITYCHRONIC POVERTYCITIZENSCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION THRESHOLDDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDISABLEDDISPARITIES IN ACCESSDISSEMINATIONDONOR SUPPORTEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC BACKGROUNDSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC RESOURCESEMPOWERMENTEQUALITYEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITYERADICATION OF POVERTYEXCLUSIONSEXPLOITATIONEXTREME POVERTYEXTREMELY POOR PEOPLEFAMILY RELATIONSHIPFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MEANSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFIREWOODFIRST CHILDFUNDAMENTAL RIGHTSGOVERNMENT POLICYGUARANTORHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH SERVICESHOMELESS PEOPLEHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHUMAN BEINGSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RACEHUMAN RIGHTSHYGIENEILL HEALTHILLITERACYIMMIGRANTSINFANTINFORMAL ECONOMYINTERMEDIARIESINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COMMITTEEINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSISOLATIONLATIN AMERICANLEGAL STATUSLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL COMMUNITIESMALNUTRITIONMARGINALIZATIONMEATMIGRANTMILLENNIUM DECLARATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMOTHERMUTUAL RESPECTNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNEW MARKETNURSENURSESNUTRITIONPARTICIPATORY RESEARCHPATIENTPEDAGOGYPERSISTENT POVERTYPLAN OF ACTIONPOLITICAL PROCESSPOLITICAL SUPPORTPOORPOOR AREAPOOR CHILDRENPOOR CLIENTSPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR FAMILIESPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY PROGRAMSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMSPOWER RELATIONSPRACTITIONERSPROGRESSPSYCHOLOGYPUBLIC SERVICESRACISMREDUCTION OF POVERTYREFUGEESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESEARCH PROGRAMSRESEARCH PROJECTSRESPECTRURAL AREASSANITATIONSECURITIESSELF-CONFIDENCESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSINGLE MOTHERSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL COUNCILSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL RESEARCHSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL SERVICESSUB-SAHARAN AFRICATOTAL POVERTYUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUSER FEESVACCINESVICTIMSVILLAGESWARWORKERSWORKING CLASSYOUNG CHILDRENWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6625-7
