If poverty in Asia is to be wiped out in a decade, the poorest have to
be helped to help themselves, writes Robin Greenwood of Christian Aid
Monday March 6, 2006
Heads of Asian and European governments, representatives of UN agencies
and the World Bank, along with a smattering of development workers, are
meeting in London today and tomorrow with the ambitious aim of ending
poverty in Asia by 2015.
As the Asian century began, many thought macro-economic growth alone
could end the continent's poverty once and for all, but those who still
believe this need a reality check.
