Purpose – After the first poverty alleviation report was published in 1980 the World Bank revised its main objective as “eradicating poverty across the globe”. This study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the policies implemented within this framework in eradicating poverty in developing and less developed countries and the post-2000 poverty alleviation policies of international organizations.
Design/data/methodology – The outstanding leading organizations in the fight against poverty are the World Bank, United Nations Development Programme and the International Labor Organization. The policies of these institutions are guiding for the countries that are attacking poverty. In line with the purpose of the World Bank, three poverty reports published in 1980, 1990 and 2000/2001 were examined and the policies put forward were compiled.
Findings – However the policies recommended by these institutions are not fully practicable for all the countries. Every country has its own original condition. It is necessary for the countries to develop alternative policy measures according to its own original conditions. In addition, when we look at the economic growth rates of regions with high levels of poverty around the world, it becomes difficult to say that these policies were successful.
Originality/value – it is thought that this study contributes to the evaluation of the effectiveness of World Bank policies as a whole in the period 1980-2005 from a global perspective. The effectiveness of poverty alleviation policies after 2005 can be evaluated as a separate subject of study.
