- Our study will… Bring to our attention the daily struggles for survival of the vast number of impoverished people around the world. We attempt to portray the image of the poor via means of a case study on Malawi in Africa.
- The World Bank technically describes extreme poverty as a person who lives under $1 a day. A better definition is the inability to meet basic needs , such as adequate nutrition, access to safe water, access to basic education, having a livelihood that can generate an income to meet these basic needs, and access to primary health services.
- The Poor are Voiceless… Kevin carter’s picture of an emaciated girl crawling towards a U.N. feeding center . This photo was taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The photographer chased away the bird and the child continued on its journey… What are the odds the little girl is alive today? Not very high, I'd say. If she is alive, what quality of life is she likely to have? She almost certainly has permanent damage from her period of starvation during crucial development, both before and after birth. As for Kevin Carter himself committed subside on July 7 th 1994. It is argued that he was an emotional individual and his work deeply effected him. He felt that taking pictures was not enough help to end the plight of the poor.
- Where on the planer are the poorest of the poor ? As we can see from the chart, regions of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are the hardest hit… about 70% of the extreme poor on the planet live in these least developed regions of the world. We can see that the incidence of poverty significantly declined from 1981 to 2001 in East Asia. Some of the nations in East Asia are economic powerhouses. Singapore, Hong-Kong, China.
- There are five reasons why the developed nations of the world should help LDC’s: First: there are many kinds of infrastructure(power grids, roads, and other transport facilities) which are all associated with increasing returns to scale. Second: Economic efficiency requires that the knowledge should be available to all, to maximize the social benefits of knowledge. Third: many social sectors exhibit strong spillovers in their effects. Adam Smith called for the public provision of education. Fourth: societies around the world want to ensure that everybody has an adequate level of access to key goods and services(health care, education, safe drinking water) as a matter of right and justice. Fifth: government will want to help the poorest of the poor not only by providing infrastructure and social investments, but also by providing productive inputs into private businesses, if it is required to help impoverished households get started in market-based activities.
- It is not enough to diagnose a child. In order to treat the child’s disease it is important to understand the social setting. Sanitation is a tool to remove disease from any community. Technologies such as bed net’s are another tool that is reasonably cheap to implement in LDC’s which would then reduce the cases of malaria significantly. Malaria is a manageable disease and can be cured if caught in time. It is a widely held idea that malaria should be an eradicated disease such as polio and small pox. Having available doctors would further increase the effectiveness of the reduction in many diseases such as malaria. Fertilizer would improve the wellbeing of any community that has a food shortage. Food is not readily available in many nations in Africa. Fertilizer allows communities with proper growing techniques would allow for the people to be well fed leading to an increase in education and health.
- Meals for all: There have been results in communities in LDC’s where a single meal improved testing scores exponentially. The quality of education when proper nutrition also rises due to a higher retention of information. Attendance also rises when proper nutrition is available. Vocational training is also a key tool in economic development because not only do the people learn, they learn tools that can be productive to their community and to the economy overall. Education in hygiene: presents another key factor in education. If people are educated in HIV/AIDS prevention/ protection, malaria control; they can then begin to improve the next generation of people in their community.
- *Connecting interior countries: If ways of reaching regions were created, it would allow for any country to spread their goods and services to be traded internationally thus bringing about growth of wealth. *Improvement of safe drinking water: Drinking water has widely been considered to be a human right, thus if any country is to be able to sustain itself there must be access to safe drinking water. Building up the ability for people to access water would improve human wellbeing. *Improvement of Sanitation: In order to prevent the further spread of disease, proper sanitation must be implemented to safely and efficiently remove all unsanitary waste. *Improved movement of information and technology: Many of the world’s LDC’s have little to no access to outside information, even beyond their villages. Information and technology would create a higher living standard and economic growth in the long run.
- Water management: improved technologies for water harvesting, desalination, small scale irrigation, and improved management of aquifers being depleted by overuse. Water will rise in importance as population densities and climate change interact to produce more regions in acute water stress. Climate forecasting and adjustment: improved measurement of seasonal, inter-annual, and long term climate changes with a view toward prediction as well as adjustment to climate changes Sustainable management of ecosystems: fragile ecosystems around the world are succumbing to anthropogenic forces, often with dire consequences. In many cases, poor communities do not have the technical capacity to monitor changes or to respond in an effective and sustainable manner.
- Asia has seen a rapid rise in crop yield’s due to the green revolution. The main reason why Asia experienced a higher benefit to this revolution is due to the readily available resource water. Water is the key resource to growing productive crops. Africa on the other hand does not have this plentiful resource. Improvement in irrigation and fertilization would then allow many African communities to use High-yielding varieties of crops such as grain, a staple crop that can be used for trade, and for local consumption. Importing these technologies is cheap and quiet easy to do.
