This work aims to contribute to the applied literature on social capital by providing an empirical tool to measure different dimensions of social capital, with a focus on applications in developing countries.

Based on discussions with over 60,000 people across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, this book provides a bottom-up view on the processes and institutions that play key roles in poverty escapes, asking how these help or hinder people in their quest to move out of poverty. It argues for poverty-reducing strategies informed by local realities.
