This training manual assists trade unions in participating in the process of developing, implementing and evaluating Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) in their respective countries. Often trade unions may lack the capacity and resources to wage an intensive PRSP campaign but this manual addresses this issue and encourages union officials and educators to become involved in the different processes. Based on experiences shared during the development of PRSPs in Cambodia and Viet Nam during 2002-2004, this is a useful training tool for countries in the initial stages of PRSP development and for those where PRSPs have already been established.
