Evaluate the impact of the Millennium Development Goals on and with people living in extreme poverty
Following the international donors conference for Haiti, Diana Skelton, Deputy Director General of the International Movement ATD Fourth World, expresses concern that by building on fear rather than on aspirations it will be difficult to take into account what people living in extreme poverty have to contribute to their country’s reconstruction.

Many concrete projects have been undertaken, but experience shows that projects designed without people living in poverty will not reach them.

It is their experience and reflection make it possible to include everyone.
