Reducing Poverty Is Achievable Finding Those Who Are Hidden By Inequalities: Synthesis of the Wikiprogress online consultation

In the run up to the OECD Global Forum on Development (GFD), Wikiprogress organised an online consultation on “Reducing Poverty Is Achievable – Finding Those Who Are Hidden By Inequalities” in partnership with the OECD, Paris21, Save the Children, ODI's Development Progress, the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI), UNICEF, Jeune Afrique, The Africa Report, the European Report on Development (ERD), Wikigender, Wikichild and the Global Progress Research Network (GPRNet).

The consultation ran from 6-15 March 2013 gathering a total of 55 comments highlighting the stories of individuals, families, communities and societies that have been excluded by social and economic inequalities. Comments also included examples of successful programmes, policies and methodologies that have made a difference in people’s lives, as well as recommendations for a new development framework. This paper provides a synthesis of the comments made during the Wikiprogress online consultation and serves as a contribution to the OECD GFD. This report aims to reflect the results of the consultation, and does not represent the views of the OECD or any of the partner organisations listed above.
