Resumen
Descripción
Definitions of poverty in developing
countries used by most development organizations focus on
household income or consumption that falls below a given
threshold, such as one dollar per capita per day, and on
other quantified indicators. While such definitions have the
merit of providing a standard by which to measure progress,
the very poor use quite different terms and ideas to
communicate what extreme poverty means to them. This paper
discusses learning from the extreme poor in the form of
participatory approaches to fostering child health in Madagascar.
