The presentation had two aims:
1. to summarise the arguments for co-operatives and
poverty reduction in the two books:
![bullet](_themes/nature/nabull1.gif) | Rediscovering the Co-operative Advantage: Poverty Reduction
through Self-help; (ILO, 2003), and
|
![bullet](_themes/nature/nabull1.gif) | Cooperatives and the Millennium
Development Goals (ILO, 2004) |
2. to explore the potential of co-operatives in helping
people to escape from poverty traps – drawing on
the work of Stephen Smith (2005) Ending Global Poverty:
a guide to what works, New York: Palgrave Macmillan
