The scientific committee, in its Niamey meeting from 30 March to 2 April 2009, has recommended that the poverty reduction bill goes beyond the MDG framework, much like the 2002 Quebec Law on the fight against poverty and social exlusion, initiated by the Québec women's organisations. It must also take into account employement, salary and work equity, social responsibility issues of corporations and international organisations in view of the much needed solidarity within and between societies.

In view of its effectivity, the poverty reduction model bill will also contain implementation and monitoring principles, like the installation of a consultative council and a mixed obervatory as operational instruments for overseeing the implementation of the law.

As the model PRL offers orientations for a binding law, but limits itself to raise the principles of sanctions, the responsibility to legislate on the concrete sanctions needed to ensure the law's effectiveness belongs to the national parliaments.
