Drawing on their own broad-ranging research at UNICEF and UNDP, the authors argue that fiscal, monetary, and other macro-economic policies for poverty reduction, human development and economic growth can be compatible with micro-level interventions to provide basic social services. Policymakers have more flexibility than is usually assumed to engage in macro-economic and growth-oriented policies that can also expand human capabilities and fulfill human rights. More than just more aid is needed. Strategic shifts in aid policy, decentralized governance, health and education and the private-public mix in service provision are a prerequisite to achieve the goals of human development and to eliminate human poverty within a generation. 410 0$aCROP international studies in poverty research. 606 $aPoverty$xGovernment policy$zDeveloping countries 606 $aHuman services$zDeveloping countries 606 $aMacroeconomics$2bicssc 606 $aPoverty & unemployment$2bicssc 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic policy 607 $aDeveloping countries$xSocial policy 615 0$aPoverty$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHuman services 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPoverty & unemployment 676 $a362.5/561091724 700 $aMehrotra$b Santosh K.$0856459 702 $aDelamonica$b Enrique 712 02$aInternational Social Science Council. 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910170982003321 996 $aEliminating human poverty$92156881 997 $aUNINA
