The Poor Problem
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6856957/site/newsweek/
The war on poverty is gaining momentum, and will figure high on the
agenda at Davos this week, against a sobering backdrop: the war is not
going as well as many thought.

Newsweek International
Jan. 31 issue - A different war is now competing for the world's
headlines-the war on poverty. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has
made fighting African poverty a cornerstone of his leadership of the G8
this year, and will devote the March Finance ministers' meeting to it,
while Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown is pushing a Marshall
Plan for Africa. Both men are featured players at the World Economic
Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, this week; there, poverty will
stand high on the agenda, fast on the heels of an ambitious blueprint
released last week by the United Nations, aiming to revive its
Millennium Development Goals, a project launched in 2000 to halve
global poverty by 2015.
