NFU Conference: Making Institutions Work for the Poor?
05 November 2007
- 07 November 2007
Norwegian Association for Development Research (NFU)
Venue: Bergen
Despite the emergence of a large number of civil society organisations and the creation of watchdog institutions, the dominant portrayal of the developing world remains to be of a region wracked by violent conflicts, rising economic inequalities and greater social exclusion. The international community has been left with the difficulty of addressing the problem that despite the existence of ostensibly democratic structures in a large number of new democracies in the South, many of the key political institutions that underpin them fail to work adequately for the poor. It is in the light of recognising this problem and representation as a barrier for poverty reduction that we ask in this conference: How can we build institutions that work for the poor?
