Over the past two years, the TAI secretariat and a small working group of TAI partners have been working towards poverty sensitizing the TAI Toolkit. This work will be completed by September 2008 and presented to the TAI Global Meeting in Ireland, in October 2008.

As part of this work, TAI partners in Cameroon, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Philippines and Sri Lanka undertook pilot studies to test new research guidelines that would help focus TAI assessments on poverty and the poor. The five case studies have provided interesting and useful insights into which TAI indicators would benefit from poverty guidelines. The studies have also revealed major gaps in the law and practice of access rights with respect to the poor.

The TAI secretariat will post these studies and the reports of the working group as and when these are finalized and become available.
