Foreword
I have great pleasure in contributing this foreword to the summary report of the informal workshop on poverty reduction in South Asia, held under the joint sponsorship of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and the World Bank.
By bringing together participants from a wide spectrum of fields relevant to development and poverty reduction, the workshop helped clarify diverse experiences, approaches, and perceptions in this area through a thorough exchange of views and information.
As a result of this fruitful interaction, the workshop identified several areas of consensus, clarified issues for further research, analysis, and discussion, and suggested possible future steps. The broad consensus which emerged from the workshopthat the approaches adopted in successful community-based participatory programs in South Asia hold great promiseprovides a firm basis for pursuing such approaches through further research, evaluation, and operational experimentation.
The report of the Independent South Asian Commission on Poverty Alleviation (ISACPA), prepared in pursuance of the Colombo SAARC Summit decision in November 1991, and the Seventh Summit Consensus on Poverty Eradication of April 1993 have evoked a keen interest both regionally and in the wider international development community. The obvious common themes in the ISACPA recommendations, the Seventh Summit Consensus on Poverty Eradication, and the World Bank's work prompted SAARC and the Bank to jointly sponsor the informal workshop to pursue regional dialogue on the pressing issue of reducing poverty. The success of this first joint initiative sets the stage for further collaboration in this and other areas of common concern.
