Let me end with two quotations which sum up the challenge. The first is extracts from a speech by a woman from the slums of Dhaka in Bangladesh, speking last year at a forum of community-based organisations to discuss their government's budget plans. We the poor do not know much about the thing presented to us as the budget. When it is time for school our children start crying. They say 'Mother, there goes the bell in the school.
Children read there.
We want to go to school. But alas, there is no place left for us in the school. This is what the challenge of development is all about - inclusion. Bringing people into society who have never been part of it before.
