MYCOORDINATES
Capacity and courage
It was all about land.
At the World Bank’s Land and Poverty conference
(April 23- 26, 2012 Washington DC).
Where Access, ownership, reforms and rights.
Acquisitions, regulations and legalities.
Revenue, corruption, administration and governance.
People, poverty, policies and practices.
And many such issues were discussed and debated,
Also highlighted was - to address the complexities involved,
One has to have the capacity,
And more importantly the courage.
Technology just remains a facilitator.
