Christian Aid's series of Poverty Over reports set out our view of what constitutes poverty in the world today. They explore some of the measures that can and ought to be taken to help those living in poverty.
Poverty Over report: September 2010
We're all in this together
In the second Poverty Over report, we take a look at the progress that has been made towards the Millennium Development Goals. They are based on the Millennium Declaration signed by 189 countries in 2000, which aimed to deliver a global effort to end poverty. This report highlights the MDGs’ flawed understanding of poverty and their failure to address its causes.
We call for several reforms to the current MDG process, including making rich countries more accountable for their part in the achievement of the Goals, increasing the Goals’ focus on gender equality and amending the Goals to reflect improvements in our understanding of climate change and the urgent need to tackle it.
Poverty Over report: July 2009
Poverty Over
Christian Aid's goal is for poverty to be over. Who doesn't want that? We believe poverty can be over - and soon. This report explains the basis for our thinking and invites you to join us in making it happen.
