Poverty Reduction Strategy policies in the Developing countries and Poverty alleviation Policies for Iran

Abstract

Over the period 1979-2021, despite the implementation of six development plan and poverty reduction policies, allocation of more resources, poverty remains an important challenge in the Iranian economy. Therefore, like other countries, we need a coherent strategy to alleviate poverty. To this end, we examined all PRSP for the developing countries and compared PRSP policies with poverty reduction policies in Iran by an analytical-comparative method. Moreover, poverty reduction policies for low-income, low-middle-income, and high-middle-income PRSP countries were classified based on macroeconomic, governance and public expenditure management, and structural- sectoral policies for poverty. Accordingly, we suggested a pakage of poverty alleviation policies for Iran’s economy.
