It is "sad, but true" that you rarely find people using commensese to answer the so called "complicated" questions of development, when at least in certain cases like extremely poor or post conflict countries the answer lies right in front of our eyes - excessive unemployment!
this is what Dambisa Moyo, Odford PhD and Harvard graduate, is trying to tell the world in her recent book "Dead Aid".
She reminds us in her recent post that "Don't forget that the over 60 percent of Africans that are under the age of 24 need jobs not sympathy" which is what Ralph and I have been pushing for since 2007 in our jobs-for-afghans efforts. I just wish there were more people thinking like her and our world would have been a much better place.
