Because "poverty reduction" is subjective as hell.

Domestic producers dont want foriegn compeitition to make the economy more efficent, and the goverment has a weak legal system to protect the poor in low income countries. Poverty reduction requires capital to invest in education, roads, water, immigation instructure improvments, and international investment helps too because then you trickle down know how.

Don't follow the world bank rules as a poor nation China never played thier rules America never did either, but America had 400% traiffs, and currency manipulation by China. These schemes will not work in the future for poor countries so they will have to face brutal competiive nature of freemarkets in the future, but also build a basic safety net here. Make sure people have food, education, basic healthcare, basic esisetnals are met. Not worry about income ineqaulity so much as a poor country, but to maximize purchasing power of products and services across income, class lines. Better to have 7,000USD to 5 million USD than 100 to 40,000 income gap as a poor country. Absolute proverty, like stravation, deprivation matter, not if a person makes 450,000 more than another person .

well that's a tough one to deal with. my pops worked with 3rd world development and what he did was (basically) help bring capitalism to poor villages in Bangladesh, Pakistan and other developing countries. this is more like the top down approach. hoping that with projects like this it will pave the way for other money to get into the system. some people find this harmful.

but what else can you really do? can you just give 600 bucks a month to a homeless family in India? that would be more of a bottom-up approach which has proven to be harmful cause it doesn't set up proper systems for poverty to subside, and money is misused even if you give it to village 'committees' and such.

so it's a tough call. it takes time. the best way is to just try to distribute money with a good tax system which will take a higher percentage from the rich and help the needy in more reliable ways to at least help them live a more healthy lifestyle. the problem over the long term is that money will stay within families and organizations over time, and without the opportunity and money over their head...poor families will most likely stay that way. education can help too, but the system of keeping the poor down is still there, only cause they need those cheap labour jobs.

oh dear, i could go on. there is no one way to solve poverty. you can fight it, but not necessarily win.

Because the people inthis goverments are humans.Greed is a vice they have not been able to curb hence at any one point while in power they will find a way of increasing the rich-poor divide eg taxing more to get more cash, ineevitably sucking cash from the already poor to make htem poorer

There are Weavers and there are Reavers. Weavers see the world as a garden that can be nurtured to fullest potential. Reavers see the world as a thing to plunder. The Reavers are in charge today. And, they see humans not as something to empower but something to use, like animals in husbandry. Reavers, like President Bush, have no intentions of ending poverty or empowering people so that they are free. But, someday, humanity will rid itself of such disgusting parasites.

Richer people are becoming rich and poor are becoming poor.

The power and money of the top people are being used to grab more opportunities. The actual money is getting diverted into Black money by means of corruption and smuggling.

Because if politicians knew how to make money, they won't be politicians.
