As we know, our understanding about poverty and it's dimensions and causes have been changed from past to now. So that it's definitions has transmitted from "income povertry" to capability poverty" and to "deprivation from basic capabilities and potentialities. Meanwhile, poverty campaigns policies & mechanisms have been evolved from "trickle down" approaches of classic theories of economic growth " to broad and centralized interventions of government. And also because of failures of these policies to overcome poverty new ways of poverty alleviations have been conceptualized in "good governance" and "empowerment" of the poor. In this way, participation of poor and direct intervention of poor communities in poverty reduction programmes have become key pillars of policies and approaches of this area. This paper reviews three initiatives: "Basic Development Needs", "Poverty Alleviation through Social Mobilization and Micro credit" and "Social Funds" in the international literature and experiences. Then these initiatives follow in the country experiences and compare with each other analytically. At the end, paper searches the future of these initiatives in such a way that how they response their applicability and sustainability Challenges. This paper has used secondary and comparative analyses and also swot analyses implicitly.
