    Summary note
    This book is the first attempt to examine what works for the poorest and analyses innovative ultra-poor programmes from around the world and explores the lessons that emerge from this important body of knowledge. It should be read by staff of donor agencies and NGOs, students of development studies who are concerned about chronic poverty.
    Notes
    Papers presented at a conference for the exchange of ideas and practical approaches to improving the well-being of the extreme poor, held at the BRAC Centre in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2006.
