Answer

Gladman Chibememe: Micro-finance could be a good starting point. I think that it's a good strategy, because it is important to start small, small is beautiful. But once if you start small, you will be able to really upscale the financial system in such a way that it caters for large-scale development. At the same time, this micro-finance should be directed towards the local level institutions that are critically involved in development at grassroots level. Those institutions that are really into action, and if this is done, then we can talk about real real development, we can talk about a world in which developing countries are progressing towards - forward, because the real people who will be getting real resources to be able to change their lives, livelihoods at the right level which is the community level where action can be taken place. So, what we are saying is action needs to be supported and it has to be supported at the appropriate level by provision of micro-finance. Start small, but upscale is more initiatives into becoming big initiatives, micro-financial resources. So, we need to upscale. We need to move from small to big. Small is beautiful, but we need to know where the small resources or the little resources should be devoted to. We need to devote the resources at the appropriate level, which is the local level, the community level, the local authority level where action is taking place, where the people much need the help, where the people are in contact with the resources, natural resources for their exploitation and their use.
