Abstract	:	This research work analyzes two comparative cases of World Bank poverty alleviation development programs in Bangladesh and Uganda. The work investigates the internal and external conditions under which poverty alleviation programs may increase in-country income inequality. It was found that both internal and external conditions may have a causal relationship with increasing income inequality. A comprehensive, holistic development approach, like that applied in the Ugandan case study, resulted in more stable levels of income inequality. Narrow economic reform programs, like that utilized in Bangladesh, drove income inequality by privileging social and political elites while disenfranchising the poor.
