This publication offers a framework for the empowerment of people living in poverty throughout the world that concentrates on increasing people's freedom of choice and action to shape their own lives. Based on analysis of practical experiences, the book identifies four key elements to support empowerment: information, inclusion and participation, improved accountability and local organisational capacity. This framework is then applied to five areas of action to improve development effectiveness: provision of basic services, improved local governance, improved national governance, pro-poor market development, and access to justice and legal aid. It also offers twenty 'tools and practices' which concentrate on a wide-range of topics to support the empowerment of the poor.

Although poverty and gender significantly influence health and socio-economic development, health professionals are not always adequately prepared to address such issues in their work. This publication, one of a set of modules intended for use in pre-service and in-service training of health professionals in the Western Pacific Region, focuses on the inter-relationship between poverty and health, including definitions of poverty and its multiple dimensions; indicators of poverty including methods of determining the prevalence of poverty and inequality within a community; how the health care system can address issues of poverty, with a special focus on low-income women and those from other marginalised or vulnerable groups.
