{UAH} Investments to End Poverty

The inaugural Investments to End Poverty report was launched in September 2013 at a panel event in New York during the UN General Assembly on the post 2015 Development Agenda which will set the stage for new global goals. In recent years the debate around ending poverty has shifted from 'if' to 'when', with an increasing number of world leaders converging behind the vision to end extreme poverty by 2030. In 1990, 43% of the world's people were living on less than $1.25 a day - today it is 21%. By 2030 we can and must get to zero, with no one left behind.

Our Investments to End Poverty programme looks at the impact of all resources on poverty reduction. It provides independent, reliable, accessible data and information on resource flows and promotes the idea that all resources have a role to play in getting poverty to zero. Our first Investments to End Poverty report recognises the fact that, despite global poverty falling at an unprecedented rate, growth alone will not be enough to end it altogether - a number of additional investments are needed. Aid continues to have a critical role but must be better targeted and used together with other resources to expedite the end of poverty. The report provides clear data to inform resource allocation for better results and ensure that there is greater accountability for funding decisions.
