Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper investigates institutional differences between the IMF and the World Bank as an important explanatory factor in their approaches to alleviating and understanding poverty as a human rights issue. The results indicate that IMF publications that discuss poverty alleviation will most likely involve macroeconomic issues that affect the poor such as high inflation and slower economic growth. World Bank publications on the other hand, are more likely to include developmental issues as they relate to poverty and input from stakeholders, including the poor themselves. The Bank has evolved to be able to address and understand poverty as a societal and human rights issue, while the Fund continues to focus on poverty, not as a human rights issue, but as a macroeconomic issue. This is due to the fact that while the IMF and the World Bank share a similar beginning and history, they focus on different aspects of poverty and development.
