Nov 3, 2008 | by Peggy McInerny, Jan Maes

Spearheaded by The SEEP Network Povery Outreach Working Group (POWG), members of which moderated the forum, the online discussion sough to identify the financial and enterprise development produts and services needed by the very poor- people who live on less than $1 a day- as well as the most effective sequencing of those services.

1. Appropriate financial and microenterprise services for very poor poeple.

2. Reaching very poor people.

3. Measuring poverty outreach and pergormance with new poverty assessment tools.
