The objective of the Poverty Monitoring Group is to stimulate a better-informed debate about growth and poverty among key stakeholders involved, this by facilitating analytical work and actively disseminating research findings and related policy implications. The rationale for the group lies in promoting systematic and higher-level involvement of a broader group of stakeholders in analysis and debate to improve the design and effective implementation of pro-poor growth strategies.
