Abstract Following the CG meeting, other Donors, particularly Japan and the ADB, as well as several INGOs, expressed their strong interest in joining the PWG. This was taken as a positive sign by the original members, but it was also thought that too large a group could potentially slow down the flow of the work. Another consideration was that the PWG had been carefully designed to ensure that there were never more Donors and NGOs than Government Ministries, thus ensuring a balance in representation. The Bank therefore suggested that the Poverty Working Group be reconstituted, but more with an information sharing role, while a smaller Poverty Reduction Task Force be established which would be tasked with the “nitty-gritty” of planning and providing support to MOLISA. Thus a kind of “two-tiered” system was developed, which aimed to be inclusive yet manageable.
