Nicholas Freeland, Programme Director of RHVP, was invited to be part of the panel to launch The Chronic Poverty Report 2008-09: Escaping Poverty Traps in Bruxelles on 17 July 2008. The event was hosted by the European Working Group on Social Protection and Decent Work and was held at the International Press Centre. The First Chronic Poverty Report, published in 2004, highlighted the key processes by which many millions of people are trapped in chronic poverty. This second report, which draws on research carried out over three years, provides a policy response to the first. And for the 320 to 443 million people trapped in chronic poverty, it presents a set of policy solutions, with an emphasis on tackling exclusion, extending social protection and building assets.
