The theme of the 2011 Philippines development report is 'generating inclusive growth, uplifting the poor and vulnerable'. This theme is follows from the priorities set in President Aquino's Social Contract and the emerging 2011-2016 Philippines Development Plan (PDP). The PDP details the vision of inclusive growth and poverty reduction that underlies the social contract (chapter one). Accordingly, the PDP focuses on three strategic objectives: (1) attaining a sustained and high rate of economic growth that provides productive employment opportunities, (2) equalizing access to development opportunities for all Filipinos, and (3) implementing effective social safety nets to protect and enable those who do not have the capability to participate in the economic growth process. While the country's development agenda remains broadly the same over the last decade, the Aquino government is focusing on stepped-up implementation and delivery. The pressing development issues confronting the Philippines in 2011 are not radically different from those of previous years. The critical difference is the new government's focus on effective implementation and delivery of public goods and services, starting with a firm approach to fighting corruption and improving governance.Date

Romania : Poverty Monitoring Analytical and Advisory Assistance Program, First Phase Report, Fiscal Year 2007World Bank (Washington, DC, 2012-06-08)The objective of this report is to
 contribute towards institutional capacity building for
 regular monitoring and analysis of poverty, as well as other
 indicators of living conditions and social inclusion. This
 report analyzes the poverty trends and profile using the
 national absolute poverty line, which measures changes in
 the level of welfare and allows for a more straightforward
 interpretation of comparisons over time. Chapter 1 presents
 an overview of poverty dynamics using both relative and
 absolute measures of poverty, and explores the reasons for
 the observed difference in trends between the two measures.
 Chapter 2 investigates the relationship between economic
 growth, inequality and poverty in Romania during the period
 1995 and 2006.

Repbulic of Chad Poverty Notes : Dynamics of Poverty and Inequality following the Rise of the Oil SectorWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-08-14)Chad's chronically unstable
 security situation has long undermined broad-based economic
 growth and sustainable poverty reduction. Since independence
 in 1960 Chad has suffered from sporadic political violence
 and ongoing tensions between different factions. The
 country's fragile security has been further compromised
 by interference from neighboring states and spillover
 effects from regional conflicts. However, after rebel
 attacks in 2008 and 2009, and following the recent
 conclusion of a peace agreement between Chad and Sudan, the
 security situation in the country has remained relatively
 calm, presenting a valuable window of opportunity for
 development efforts to take root. The objective of this
 Poverty Note is to examine changes in poverty and inequality
 in Chad since the emergence of the oil sector. It will focus
 on the evolution of poverty indicators from the 2003 pre-oil
 baseline captured in the Chadian Household Consumption and
 Informal Sector Survey, or ECOSIT2 to the more recent
 findings of the 2011 ECOSIT3 and compare current monetary
 and nonmonetary poverty conditions in Chad with those of
 comparable countries. It will go on to assess the impact of
 oil production on the non-oil sectors of the Chadian
 economy. Finally, it will evaluate the extent to which
 public expenditures in the social sectors benefit the poor
 by analyzing the progressivity of social spending.

A Counterfactual Analysis of the Poverty Impact of Economic Growth in CameroonBassole, Leandre; Essama-Nssah, B. (2010-03-01)The Government of Cameroon has declared
 poverty reduction through strong and sustainable economic
 growth the central objective of its socioeconomic policy.
 This paper uses available household survey data to assess
 the performance of the economy with respect to this
 objective over the period 1996-2007. The authors use
 counterfactual decompositions based on both the Shapley
 method and the generalized Oaxaca-Blinder framework to
 identify proximate factors that might explain differences in
 observed outcomes over time, across regions and households.
 The concept of pro-poorness provides a basis for a normative
 evaluation of these outcomes. The analysis of changes in the
 size distribution of economic welfare reveals that formal
 sector employment, access to credit, education, and urban
 residence are characteristics that bring significantly high
 returns to households. Employment in smallholder agriculture
 has a negative impact on welfare across quantiles. Economic
 growth was accompanied by significant poverty reduction
 between 1996 and 2001. But poverty barely decreased between
 2001 and 2007 due to very weak growth. Over the same period,
 household investment in human capital took a serious hit.
 Given the additional finding that the pattern of growth is
 characterized by urban bias and regional disparity, the
 overall assessment is that economic growth has been weakly
 pro-poor in Cameroon. There is therefore a need to
 re-examine and possibly reform the mechanisms governing the
 allocation of public resources designed to support
 individuals' efforts to improve their standard of living.
