Report outlines four steps towards ending global poverty

A four-part manifesto for fighting global poverty, which aims to build on the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals when they expire in 2015, has been published by the Humanitarian Centre in Cambridge.

We are all vulnerable to the effects of increasing social inequality, and we need to think about how we can each make a contribution to achieving future global development goals
    - Anne Radl

The document, called Working Out Our Future Together, is part-report and part-handbook, and is designed to show how anyone can, and must, get involved in the drive to end global poverty - whether they are volunteers, policy-makers, business-people or even shoppers.

Written by a combination of Cambridge-linked academics and field practitioners, the document is being published on the website of the Humanitarian Centre which is an affiliate of the University of Cambridge.

It is aimed at individuals and organisations in the Cambridge area with an interest in development issues, and others who, like many businesses, may have previously been seen as peripheral to the anti-poverty agenda.
