TEDTalks: Jacqueline Novogratz (2005)

http://www.ted.com Jacqueline Novogratz is the charismatic founder and CEO of Acumen Fund, a non-profit that takes a business-like approach to improving the lives of the poor. In this talk, she applauds the heightened interest in Africa, but argues persuasively for a new approach to foreign aid: "The question isn't 'how do we fix this?' The question is 'How can we help Africans to do this for themselves?'" (Recorded July 2005 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 13:38)

This gender issue is all about stupid traditions, once they are broken, everyone will be equal.

This person is right she is! Why are only the woman the most valuable asset though? Surely men can take part in this too, I really doubt it has anything to do with genitalia.

After reading "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman," it's hard to be hopeful about global poverty.
