Viewed from a global scale, steady progress has been made in reducing extreme povertydefined by the $1.25aday poverty lineover the past three decades. This success has sparked renewed enthusiasm about the possibility of eradicating extreme poverty within a generation. However, progress is expected to become more difficult, and slower, over time. This book will examine three central changes that need to be overcome in traveling the last mile: breaking cycles of conflict, supporting inclusive growth, and managing shocks and risks. By uncovering new evidence and identifying new ideas and solutions for spurring peace, jobs, and resilience in poor countries, The Last Mile in Ending Extreme Poverty will outline an agenda to inform poverty reduction strategies for governments, donors, charities, and foundations around the world.ContentsPart I: Peace: Breaking the Cycle of ConflictExternal finance for state and peace building, Marcus Manuel and Alistair McKechnie, Overseas Development InstituteReforming international cooperation to improve the sustainability of peace, Bruce Jones, Brookings and New York UniversityBridging state and local communities through livelihood improvements, Ryutaro Murotani, JICA, and Yoichi Mine, JICARI and Doshisha UniversityPostconflict trajectories and the potential for poverty reduction, Gary Milante, SIPRIPart II: Jobs: Supporting Inclusive GrowthStructural change and Africa's poverty puzzle, John Page, BrookingsPublic goods for private jobs: lessons from the Pacific, Shane Evans, Michael Carnahan and Alice Steele, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Government of AustraliaStrategies for inclusive development in agrarian SubSaharan countries, Akio Hosono, JICARIThe role of agriculture in poverty reduction, John McArthur, Brookings, UN Foundation, and Fung Global InstitutePart III: Resilience: Managing Shocks and RisksEnvironmental stress and conflict, Stephen Smith, George Washington University and BrookingsToward community resilience: The role of social capital after disasters, Go Shimada, JICARISocial protection and the end of extreme poverty, Raj Desai, Georgetown University and Brookings'
