Abstract

This study tries to describe a comprehensive overview of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Plan papers. This is a crucial document that any current economist should understand. Currently, the globe is implementing seventeen development goals listed on the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda. The work addresses several themes that are pertinent to the Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans document, including the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Plan (IPRSP) and the Complete Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSP). The work also describes how historically the concept of poverty reduction strategy plans (PRSP) came to exist. It covers the time from when the PRSP method was presented in 1999 up to date. Also, the work explains the main principles that must be included in preparing the Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSP) documents and the challenges that face poor countries in the implementation of their corresponding Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSP) are discussed. Finally, the overall view of whether these plans really help the poor countries or they are just another mode of empowering the poor countries and international finance institutions will be given.
