Hostages, Revolutions and Critics
Most uprisings and revolutions find their beginnings in injustice. The French and American revolutions are two examples, and we can trace this back to Greek history. Democracy started there. The people had a justified outrage and managed to change things.
Balancing Work and Life
A physician said to me in 1986, after I had first started my own business for three years: "There is more to life than working hard and making money." Now, I'm seeing his protege at the same office. My former physician passed on. But his words stay for me. I miss him.

How Stan Gross survived before he hit it big in his consultancy.
7.5.3 Public sector services for the poor: Institutional design and capacity building
Within the public sector as well, concerted efforts need to be made to improve the pre- and in-service training of all personnel who are directly involved in facilitating knowledge dissemination and skills development among the poor.

7.4.3 Funding
The poor do not have the resources to pay for their own training. The experience of nearly twenty years of structural adjustment has conclusively demonstrated that merely 'getting prices' and creating the appropriate enabling environment' for farmers and microenterprises is not sufficient in order to ensure a strong 'supply response'.

6.3.1 Indigenous skills and knowledge: For-profit and NGO training activities
The following discussion summarises the basic premises and key features of this new approach.

4.1.1 Survival enterprises: The demand for training
In simple numerical terms, 'survival' enterprises predominate in most informal sectors. The general view is that the skill requirements for most tasks undertaken in this type of enterprise are minimal and/or are relatively easily acquired on the job.

2.1 Dimensions of crisis
There are two basic sets of concerns about VET and poverty reduction. The first focuses on the failure of most targeted training interventions to have any appreciable, sustained impact on livelihoods.
A participatory learning system for microfinance
A key objective for impact assessment of microfinance programmes is 'internal learning' by field staff and programme managers about what is working, what is not working and why, in order to improve programme operations.

Inhibitors to Success: Natural Disasters
Like ill health, natural disasters are another area of vulnerability for the poor.
IV. Module II: Linking Microfinance to Poverty Eradication
There is a fundamental linkage between microfinance and poverty eradication in that the latter depends on the poor gaining access to, and control over, economically productive resources, which includes financial resources.
5.9 Employment and enterprise development: Working Out of Poverty
Analysis of trends in employment to identify sectoral or regional patterns of growth or decline. Improving the information base on where people work and how much they earn, labour force participation and household incomes, disaggregated by sex and age.
2.4 Agricultural workers and rural communities: Working Out of Poverty
A better understanding of the social and economic dynamics of rural communities is critical to the reduction and eradication of poverty. The world’s poorest countries are those most dependent on agriculture. Threequarters of the people in extreme poverty live in rural areas.
1.20 Building together: Working Out of Poverty
Attacking poverty and promoting social integration are not the job of any one country or organization acting alone. They form the inescapable common agenda for today’s world.
Mobility as a Driver for Economic Development: Tanzania Case Study
As economic growth and industrialization accelerate and livelihoods and incomes improve, so the demand for mobility increases. However, in much of the developing world, demand for mobility solutions to drive economic growth continues to outpace supply, while paradoxically the growing number of vehicles and other mobility solutions has not been matched by improved infrastructure. Business is stepping up efforts to understand and address the sustainable mobility issues being faced by developing economies.
