Poverty reduction is the central goal of current development policies
both locally and internationally. To reach this objective it is
essential to understand the complexity and ambiguity of poverty. This
locally specific in-depth analysis offers a means to understand poverty
beyond statistics.
The aim of this working paper is to give voice to the poor by reviewing
local people’s understanding of poverty in four selected communities in
Tanzania. It presents the ways the locals perceive both poverty in
general as well as the challenges of everyday life. Rural and urban
coping strategies are examined and the social context analyzed to create
a profound description of poverty in Tanzania.
