RIB has undertaken to develop a partnership network with
individuals and agencies engaged in poverty alleviation efforts
throughout the country, particularly those working at the
grassroots level. Through this network, RIB hopes to contribute
to the development of a new community of researchers on poverty
alleviation who would take research beyond the traditional
economic dimensions, towards understanding the historical,
sociological, ethical dimensions of poverty and apply that
knowledge to improve the situation of the poverty groups.
The specific aims of the network include:
|
a)
|
development of supportive and cooperative linkages
between local, regional, national level organizations
and individuals;
|
|
b)
|
identification of local level problems, potential ideas
and areas of intervention for improving the lives of
the poverty groups;
|
|
c)
|
assistance in building research capacity of partner
organizations through training, seminars, workshops,
dialogues, conferences or other forms of information
sharing;
|
|
d)
|
development of a forum for advocacy and policy campaign
for materializing and transforming research findings
into reality;
|
|
e)
|
humanizing the poverty discourse;
|
|
f)
|
ensuring that equal importance is given to the human
needs of the poverty groups along with their economic/material
needs.
