Thanks very much for your contribution, Paul. Indeed, I am a strong believer in the power of the models you suggest and specially of accessible tools like those offered by IDE or Kickstart. Only through such initiatives, complemented with efforts in education and helth care (for example, through programs like Partners in Health which have proved successful in countries like Peru) will this communities start walking a sustainable path out of extreme poverty. I will review the outcomes of the FOC Conference in detail and look forward to continuing this conversation.
