Harvest of hope

Article Abstract:

The Millennium Villages Project, led by the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, applies a range of poverty-slashing interventions to 12 sites across Africa, to prove that properly coordinated and financed interventions in different areas can make a sustainable change to the lives of the world's poorest communities quickly and in an easily replicated way. The project aims to provide improved resources and techniques in agriculture, health, education, transport, energy and water provision and financial management in poverty-stricken areas.
