Many NGOs and civil society organisations (CSOs) have been working towards the implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). Five years into this process, PRSPs need some critical reflection, particularly so due to the major implications for CSOs’ experience of participation.
In this issue Kasturi Sen reviews the evolution from SAPs to PRSPs and assesses the policy changes (if any) that have resulted; Janice Giffen outlines the role and development of civil society coalitions in the monitoring of PRSPs in Malawi; Alastair Fraser discusses competing theories relating to ‘participation’ in the context of PRSPs; and Hannah Warren focuses on the capacity of Ghana’s PRSP to address poverty at the micro-level, highlighting the need for research into the impact of PRSPs.
