We all agree that poverty plagues our region, that the gap between rich and poor is widening despite globalization. But what can be done to improve the lives of millions in Latin America and the Caribbean?

We’ll meet with experts, government officials, business leaders and representatives of NGOs who have built successful anti-poverty programs. They’ll help us come up with new ideas for developing realistic community-level programs to create jobs and reduce poverty. We’ll talk with specialists about micro-credits and training programs and we'll have sessions with leaders who can explain how they’ve helped people in their communities take control of their economic lives.
