The right to participation of people living in poverty 2013, para. 45
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Simply increasing the number of people living in poverty present in existing decision-making spaces is not sufficient. Realizing the right to participation of people living in poverty requires prioritizing their meaningful involvement from the very beginning of the process, including priority-setting, and a number of political risks (e.g., co-option and manipulation) need to be considered.
Legal status
