Resumen:	It was fortunate that three organizations joined efforts to organize the seminar “Strategies against Poverty: Designs from the North and Alternatives from the South” in which academics from Africa and Latin America examined the policies and the programmes to eradicate poverty in both continents. The purpose of the seminar was to open a space to debate alternative theoretical approaches on the causes of poverty and to explore the, some times diverging, strategies to its eradication as proposed by the North, donors and multilateral organizations, and by the South, governments and non-governmental organizations. The particular interest in studying poverty in the context of developing countries, often called the South, is to show the profound socio-economic inequalities existing in these countries and the problems that result when the programs are structured to mitigate poverty are, in too many cases, a mere the incorporation to local scenarios of the universal policies, from international agencies and funding. These programs made with the idea that one size fits all, ignore the needs, priorities and realities of individual countries and regions and only meet the North’s neoliberal paradigms.
