Word of the lucky

I am a farmer. I used to grow beans, sweet potato and cassava, says Liberatte Siyonarera, an 18-year-old woman from Burundi working at the Mparamirundi-Buvumo road project site. It was once impassable but rehabilitation of the road will facilitate the movement of goods and services and enhance trade between Burundi and Rwanda while providing jobs for farmers like Siyonarera. I have been working here for the past five months, Siyonarera says. With my pay, I was able to buy a cow that produces milk for my family and manure for our farm. I can also afford to buy clothes and other things that I like.

Comments by Expert
If global aid is used productively and efficiently, it could raise the social infrastructure, hence quality of the human resounce (population), and the Human Development Index of India and in the long run help narrow the rich poor gap through inclusive growth. This would ultimately lead to greater per capita income and probably greater revenue for the government too..
