Abstract: The Operationalizing Pro-Poor Growth (OPPG) program was initiated in 2003 to better understand the options for policymakers to increase the impact of growth on poverty reduction and how they vary depending on policies and country conditions. The goal was not to provide a specific policy framework for pro-poor growth. It was to explore the channels for the poor to participate in growth and the country context and initial conditions affecting the efficiency of growth in reducing poverty. The OPPG work adds to the literature by drawing on 14 country case studies: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Romania, Senegal, Tunisia, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia. The countries had at least two household surveys in the 1990s and early 2000s that offered comparable methodologies, consumption aggregates and poverty lines. The country studies systematically analyzed the distributional pattern of growth and how it was affected by country policies and conditions, thus overcoming some of the shortcomings of cross-country econometrics.
