What are the poverty reduction goals of the European development co-operation agencies? This work examines the credibility of their actual record in terms of their commitment and approaches to poverty reduction. The poverty impact of their aid programmes and their good and bad practices are assessed based on field studies in seven poor countries. Ways of maximizing benefits to poor people are explored and changes in agency management systems and dialogue are recommended.
