KUALA LUMPUR: A bipartisan approach is needed to eradicate hardcore poverty, says an economist.
Dr Jain Yassin said the willingness of all parties to work together regardless of political affiliation is an important basis to ensure the effectiveness of poverty eradication efforts.
To ensure that any poverty programme has more impact, Jain, who is also a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Management and Business at Universiti Teknologi Mara Sabah, suggested that the government carry out a needs assessment before implementing any initiative. He also said the scope of any poverty eradication programme should be expanded to include capacity building for the community.
