520 _aThis article discusses the issues arising from the corporate ownership and management of anti-poverty activity in local authorities in Britain in the 1990s. It is based upon action research carried out in a sample of authorities as part of a project to develop and implement tools for the monitoring and evaluation of anti-poverty activity, and developed in collaboration with the Local Government Anti-Poverty Unit. Issues identified in connection with corporate management include: structural location, democratic control, political leadership, documentation of commitments, financial support, definition and measurement, and consultation and feedback. Evidence of good practice is identified and summarised. - Reproduced
