The main focus of this policy summary is to identify policy areas that political parties can agree upon in the fight against poverty as well as to analyze the political obstacles to poverty reduction. A crucial step for endorsing anti-poverty reform is to support opportunities that allow the poor to have greater influence in political decision making. Key recommendations include that economic policy must not be separated from social policy goals
