Poverty Reduction Strategy
The Nova Scotia government released its Poverty Reduction Strategy on April 3, 2009.
The strategy provides a framework for addressing the needs of those most vulnerable and those at risk of falling into poverty, while promoting the prosperity necessary for Nova Scotia to grow.
The vision for 2020: to break the cycle of poverty by creating opportunities for all Nova Scotians to participate in the prosperity of the province and enjoy a better standard of living.
The four main goals of the strategy are:
- Enable and reward work
- Improve supports for those in need
- Focus on our children
- Collaborate and coordinate
