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.
