13. AreaQuestions to Address Understanding of Poverty and Poverty Reduction  How does your collaboration define poverty? Why this definition and not another one?  What does your collaboration see as the key factors contributing to poverty in your community?  What changes need to be brought about in order to achieve substantial, deep and durable poverty reduction in your community? Goals and Strategies  What are the major goals of your initiative?  What specific strategies will your initiative pursue in order to achieve these goals? Why have you chosen these strategies rather than others?  How many low-income households do you expect to benefit and in what ways? Will you be seeking to assist any specific target groups? If so, which ones and why have you chosen to focus your efforts in these areas rather than others?  How will your collaboration contribute to the work of poverty reduction in your community? What are the key roles that your collaboration will play?  What does your collaboration mean by ‘comprehensive,’ and why is this approach important for achieving substantial, deep and durable reductions in poverty?  What does your collaboration mean by ‘sustainability’ and what do you see as the key factors contributing to achievement of this goal? Signs of Progress  How will you know if you are making progress? What are some key indicators of progress that you anticipate seeing as your initiative unfolds? What would be signs that your initiative is not making the progress you desire? Underlying Approach  Stepping back from the details of your plan, how would you sum up in a phrase or two the essence of your approach to generating substantial, deep and durable poverty reduction in your community?
