CROP Newsletter July 2014
NEWSLETTER containing an overview of CROP's many events during the first semester of 2014, and the coming months.
A key event during the first half of 2014 was finalizing CROP’s Strategic and Communications Plan 2015–2020, something that called for an intense and imaginative review of what CROP’s mission has been and will be in the coming years.
There was a clear consensus in the annual Scientific Committee meeting, which took place at the end of June, that the promotion of critical inter-disciplinary research on the nature, extent, depth, distribution, trends, causes and effects of poverty should continue to be at the core of all strategic and action plans.
The new strategic and communication plans will help CROP concentrate its energies in key thematic areas that relate poverty with the conditions for social change, with social policies and the welfare state, with human sustainable development, with the role of the media, with child poverty and inequality and with global justice.
