Dear Mr. Fahngon:Mr. Fahngon, Pro-Poor Agenda means progressivism—meaning lifting ordinary struggling Liberians from an impoverished living standard to an appreciable standard of living. It provides a conceptual framework for assessing the pro-poor characteristics of policy making as a process. This will enable the government, national/international counterparts to include policy making processes as an integral component in broader governance and poverty assessments. The framework is applied to two experiences of improved pro-poor governance in policy making: participatory budgeting [a cross country macro perspective] and participatory budgeting [a micro perspective]. Finally, the agenda provides examples of critical questions to ask at each stage of the policy making process.
