Fighting Poverty
Fighting poverty isn't all about aid, it's about helping people to help themselves
The challenges of poverty
Development is about helping people fight poverty. This means people in rich and poor countries working together to settle conflicts, increase opportunities for trade, tackle climate change, improve people’s health and their chance to get an education.
It means helping governments of poor countries put their own plans into action. It means agreeing debt relief, working with international institutions that co-ordinate support, and working with charities to give communities a chance to find their own ways out of poverty.
