Overarching research questions from a Poverty Plus perspective Who are the poor, the vulnerable and the excluded? What are their characteristics? Where are they located in society? How are they affected by the changing context and the development processes? What are the structures that work to include or exclude them from participating in the development process? Are the changing context and the process of development creating new vulnerabilities and groups of poor? Does the shift towards prosperity impact negatively on some groups; how and what are the implications in terms of poverty and vulnerability? What are the structures that contribute to unequal distribution of the negatives and positives of the development process? Source: CEPA Strategy 2015-2019
