Andrew Shepherd attended the USAID Summit on Ending Extreme Poverty for senior USAID staff in May in Washington D.C., with a draft USAID Vision on Ending Extreme Poverty on the table, and presented the Chronic Poverty Report 2014-5 on getting to zero extreme poverty, as well as the ODI Poverty, Disasters and Climate Extremes 2030 Report. The purpose was to help lay out the programming challenge, and to highlight the interaction between poverty and climate change-induced disasters.
