 The Poverty Reduction and Regional Integration project is essentially a project about global poverty and what governments in different regions of the world can do to tackle global poverty much more effectively. We're looking at that in the context of two regions of the world, Southern Africa and South America. Much of the research in this field in the past has looked at the ways in which governments take action at an individual level. So what we're drawing attention to is the ways in which governments themselves are increasingly taking collective action to address these key global issues. Our vision for the eradication of poverty in the global south is for strengthened regional associations of governments which have enough resources and enough powers and enough capacity to make a real difference to things like healthcare. Social protection, livelihoods, education and what that means for our project is to highlight the ways in which they are already doing that and to draw attention to the ways in which they could become even more effective. What we are recommending is a vision of a more balanced, more effective partnership within the global south, within these regional organisations but also in collaboration with organisations in the global north and international organisations such as the World Bank, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund as well as those equivalent organisations within South America and Southern Africa.
