The speci?c objectives were: i) To assess the core elements of the poverty reduction strategies with respect to the desired targets; ii) To analyse the feasibility of envisaged approaches in implementing the strategies and sustainability of outcomes; iii) In relation to the above, to assess the monitoring and evaluation indicators as well as the institutional aspects of the implementation of strategies; and iv) To analyse the role of IMF conditionalities and other regional and global issues relevant to the process, including debt reduction, market access and foreign investment. This report sythesizes the findings of the case sutdies undertaken in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia.
