Development is complex. Yet we treat it as a simple equation. ‘Money in = Benefits out’. And it’s not adding up.
Democracy is multi-faceted – and needs to be fully localised – But we still push one-size fits all. And many countries can’t wear it.
Governments need the private sector to end poverty. And they both need civil society and international agencies. Yet we all continue to work in glorious isolation. Building monuments to mediocrity.
And it’s the poorest of the poor who suffer most, whose potential remains untapped – whose voices remain unheard.
Well.
We’ve had enough.
