This book discusses the effectiveness of international development programs to reduce extreme poverty in African informal settlements (slums). It is equally about the people affected by development programs. The intention is to foster dialogue among professionals about the effectiveness of development programs to better serve their clients (the poor). This book expressly examines the communication and critical thinking disconnect between development professionals and slum dwellers regarding the types of programs offered versus the types of programs needed to reduce extreme poverty in slum communities. With a sample of 500 residents from Mukuru Slum in Nairobi, Kenya, and 100 development professionals with expertise in poverty reduction in slum communities, this book sheds light on the similarities and differences of programs identified as key to effectively reducing extreme poverty. Most importantly, this book provides a theoretical way forward (The Theory of Extreme Poverty Reduction) based on Freirean pedagogy to stimulate authentic dialogue among slum dwellers that leads to the critical consciousness necessary for successful poverty reduction.
