Social Entrepreneur for Poverty
4. • Paul Collier helps countries like South Africa to tackle the
cost of poverty but….
• Paul Collier said that it cost $50 billion to tackle poverty in
one country which is facing poverty. Which is a lot of
money $)
5. • He learned to be especially cautious where financial aid
for developing countries was concerned during his years
as director of the development research group at the
World Bank. Which got him inspired.
• And he said that social entrepreneurs are the best
solution in the fight against global poverty. Which in our
opinion is right, because if all Social Entrepreneurs
create a organisations on tackling poverty around the
world. The world will be a better place where not many
countries will suffer Poverty.
6. SOLUTIONS
• He suggests a number of relatively inexpensive but
institutionally difficult changes:
• Aid agencies should increasingly be concentrated in the most
difficult environments, accept more risk. Ordinary citizens
should not support poorly informed vociferous lobbies whose
efforts are counterproductive and severely constrain what the
Aid agencies can do.
• Appropriate Military Interventions (such as the British in Sierra
Leone) should be encouraged, especially to guarantee
democratic governments against coups.
• International Charters are needed to encourage good
governence and provide prototypes.
• Trade Policy needs to encourage free trade and give
preferential access to Bottom Billion exports.
