The story I have just told about the climate for investment, and particularly the role of small and medium enterprises, and so on, is very different from the Mahalanobis model with fixed coefficients, where you push up the savings rate and try to control incremental capital output ratios, and so on. We all know that things work better if people are empowered to participate. We know that schools work much better if there is participation from the local community and from parents. It's not simply the odd observation of a case here and there. If you look at the District Primary Education Program in India, which now covers more than 55 million people, there has been an enormous change in the way in which education takes place.
Local communities are now much more involved in the story.
This translates into simple improvements like the building of toilets and so on, which enable Indian girls to go to and remain in school at much higher rates than they could before. In the field of rural infrastructure, now we have many more water users' associations involved in the irrigation projects we support. In the health field, there is now much more community involvement in the running of hospitals. In short, there is a whole range of areas where empowerment is important. We are getting much better in many parts of the world, India included, in land titling, which is an enormous improvement in the empowerment of poor people.
