If given $1 billion to invest as a policymaker in the MENA region, the author would not put the entire funds into a single corporate entity. Instead, the funds should be used to invest in the region's future by reducing youth unemployment and unleashing potential through entrepreneurship. Specifically, the majority of funds should go towards fostering a startup-friendly ecosystem and investing in innovative business ideas. This is because startups create many jobs, attract top talent, and foster an innovation culture where failure is part of the learning process. While a unicorn startup is enticing, historically the most economic success comes from a large number of entrepreneurial ventures, not just one large investment.

Pay for Today (and Tomorrow): Compensation in the Nonprofit Sector (DC)Church Pension Group
Lately, it seems that any sentence containing the words "nonprofit" and "compensation" is related to the scrutiny of pay provided to the presidents and other top executives of organizations. However, for most nonprofit organizations, far more compensation dollars are paid to the broader, non-executive employee population.

2) Microcredit has limited impact on creating new businesses, but can help expand existing ones. However, average household income and consumption do not significantly increase.
3) The poor operate very small, informal businesses like petty retail with no employees or assets. They view these businesses as a fallback rather than a path out of poverty. Microcredit alone is not enough
