Poverty & Hunger - by the Numbers
“Our dream is a world without
poverty” – World Bank
The International
Development Association (IDA), a branch of the World Bank, lends money to
the world’s poorest countries. In
most cases, though, the assistance hasn’t helped largely because recipients
have failed to address the main causes of their economic ruin --
corruption, repressed economies, weak judicial systems and excessive state
ownership of key enterprises. - Ana Eiras, The Poverty of Nations
