Global Poverty Project

The Global Poverty Project

The Global Poverty Project's vision is a world without extreme poverty within a generation. 

We exist to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to end extreme poverty.

We have developed 1.4 Billion Reasons - a simple yet ground-breaking presentation, that is travelling the world, inspiring and empowering audiences in its path.

Based on leading research, the presentation clearly articulates the facts of extreme poverty, and demonstrates that by making simple changes, everyone can be part of the solution.

Compelling and challenging, the presentation moves audiences to take action and become a part of the movement to end extreme poverty.

What do we want?

We recognise that development is a complex field. Our focus is on communicating issues and enabling action in the general public. To that end, our policy change objectives are:

• Aid Quantity: That every nation we operate in works towards achieving 0.7% GNI in foreign aid.
• Aid Quality: That the quality of that aid be measured against whether or not it achieves poverty alleviation and the Millennium Development Goals.
• Global Trade: Working towards fair and balanced trade relations, and the removal of protectionist export subsidies.
• Equitable Trade: To dramatically increase the market share of equitably traded goods. 
• Millennium Development Goals: Support the effective funding and implementation of the Millennium Development Goals through government, NGOs and the private sector.
