Organizational Comparative Advantages of NGOs in Eradicating Extreme Poverty and Hunger: Strategy for Escape from Poverty Traps

This chapter builds on the framework introduced in chapter 4 to examine in more detail the organizational comparative advantages of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with specific reference to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, and looks in greater depth at some of the resulting strengths that NGOs may bring to bear on innovation and implementation of poverty programs. In doing so, it will examine the types of poverty traps faced by those in extreme poverty, and consider in this light NGO programmatic responses.
