Although the overall incidence of poverty in the region has dropped from 34 to 24 per cent in the 1990s, it is still home to about two thirds of the world's total poor.

In the context of implementing the Millennium Development Goals, poverty incidence should be reduced provided that favourable medium to long term economic growth is sufficiently broadly based to ensure that the poor benefit from such growth.

The report documented progress made in reducing poverty, ending violence against women, halting the spread of HIV AIDS and promoting gender equality in democratic governance and post conflict countries.
