As opposed to traditional top-down approaches, the PPAF story describes a powerful alternative route to alleviating poverty. Instead of placing development in the center of people, PPAF followed an alternative paradigm by placing people in the center of development. This inclusive approach creates the space for their active participation and unleashing their true potential.

The book illustrates the dynamics of setting up a new institution and the importance of working within a framework of values rather than targets. It concludes by stating the challenges which lie ahead.
