RE: [wanabidii] Fwd: World Bank ending poverty... again | Human Rights and extreme poverty

Dr. Mayunga,
Asante kwa kutuwekea huu waraka hapa.

Matinyi.

He said that developing countries have "a chance -- for the first time ever -- to end extreme poverty within a generation." Yet, that same goal was set 40 years ago by then World Bank president Robert McNamara and the target date was the year 2000. What's the excuse for a delay of 30 years?
