Long-term local responses to poverty in the era of perpetual crisis.

On February 22nd 2023, we hosted a webinar to share our findings. We explored the following:

• How local authorities and their partners can take a strategic approach to addressing poverty built around the framework developed by GMPA.
• What makes a good anti-poverty strategy and how can local authorities and their partners can develop and implement an anti-poverty strategy in a way that maximises its effectiveness.

We were joined by guest speakers and held a Q&A session.
