Communities and local governemnts help those experiencing poverty significantly

In order to fight poverty effectively and sustainably, local governments and communities need to act with greater focus and reduce their attention from broad-spectrum treatment to community-based programs such as cash transfer programs, adult education, preventive healthcare, employment training, and affordable housing. These customized solutions build people up, meet specific needs, and take advantage of local knowledge to make long-term, sustainable changes in the lives of those living in poverty.
