Simply put, 'Pro Poor' means in favour of or supportive of the poor.

This term is commonly used by politicians, Academics and those working in the International Development Community in reference to a policy, program, theory or ethical position that favours or supports poorer Demographics.

It does not need to be limited to international development however, and can be commonly used in domestic politics.

'Pro Poor' policies could range anywhere from tax breaks for lower income families, funding for homeless or woman's shelters to aid agency funded food or health programs, or a political party's platform for international development.
