本文探讨了Kudumkiree，消除贫困使命的喀拉拉邦的印度国家的运作。Kudumalaree通过仅限女性的邻里团体开展活动，旨在促进其参与者的经济提升，并将其纳入地方治理的活动和机构。因此，Kudumkaree呼应了全球南方其他地方旨在将扶贫与“积极公民”联系起来的扶贫方案。本文评估该方案，反过来看它对妇女参与公共空间的影响，它试图通过与当地国家的接触，工程师参与公民身份，其特定的联系参与和扶贫的过程中排除在喀拉拉邦的更广泛的后果。它认为，尽管该方案无疑在其规模和支持妇女的公共参与方面取得了成功，但它所创造的“受邀空间”的自主权以及它所体现的减贫基本愿景仍然存在问题。
This article examines the operation of Kudumbashree, the Poverty Eradication Mission for the Indian State of Kerala. Kudumbashree operates through female-only Neighbourhood Groups, which aim to contribute to their participants' economic uplift, and to integrate them with the activities and institutions of local governance. As such, Kudumbashree echoes poverty alleviation programmes elsewhere in the Global South designed to link poverty alleviation to ‘active citizenship’. This article evaluates the programme, looking in turn at its impacts on women's participation in public space, its attempts to engineer participatory citizenship through engagement with the local state, and the wider consequences of its particular linking of participation and poverty alleviation for processes of exclusion within Kerala. It argues that although the programme has undoubtedly been successful in its scale and in supporting women's public participation, questions remain over both the autonomy of the ‘invited spaces’ it has created, and the underlying vision of poverty alleviation it embodies.
