The objective of the book is to better understand the life of the very poor, what is needed in order to reach them, and how attacking extreme poverty represents a challenge for NGOs, governments and international financial institutions.  The key finding is that helping the very poor to emerge from poverty requires not only extra public resources, effort, and time, but also a broader approach to development policy.  One of the implications is that it is important to learn from the poor themselves how they cope with multiple deprivations and what is needed from their point of view to attack extreme poverty.
