Exploring the Promise of Asset-Based Social Policies: Reviewing Evidence from Research and Practice

08/12/2003 - 09/12/2003


This conference was part of an interdepartmental research project entitled New Approaches for Adressing Poverty and Exclusion. It provided a unique opportunity for policymakers and experts to examine what we have learned so far from Canadian and international research, policy and practice on the strengths and limitations of asset-based approaches (saving programs for individual development, learning, housing, etc.). The goal was to stimulate debate and reflection on the potential role of these approaches in our poverty prevention and reduction policies. The conference was organized by the Government of Canada's Policy Research Initiative, in partnership with Human Resources Development Canada, the National Secretariat on Homelessness and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
