Eliminating Global Poverty; Empowering the People

tags: Poverty, debt relief, developing nations, global poverty, harmful economic policy conditions, illegitimate debt, impoverished countries, Jubilee USA Network

While strides have been made in fighting global poverty, we need to change our trade and fiscal policies toward developing countries, so that these countries really have a shot at reducing poverty & empowering civil society. The next president should also seriously work on canceling the debts of impoverished countries without harmful conditions. Much of this $$ was incurred by dictators or illegitimate regimes. In the end, it's the people in these countries who languish in poverty .
