Describe the overall strategy of CIDA in terms. We have been an agency that has done an extremely good job in putting together a portfolio of projects in many areas, including microfinance and microenterprise. I think we ve established a good reputation internationally as an agency with the project portfolios that we have in developing countries. What we re impressed with as an agency is that developed countries are increasingly coalescing around new approaches to development that have been expressed in various ways in the last several years. I m thinking, for example, of the OECD document Shaping the 21st Century that set out a series of international targets, but it also set out ways in which we should be doing our development cooperation business.
Some countries are already there, or close to being there.
Let me make a statement and ask a question. With regard to the overarching goals from OECD, and from Copenhagen five years ago, the primary goal is cutting absolute poverty in half by the year 2015 with many other important goals following under that. You talked about the developing country in the driver s seat, which I think is a very important concept. This is the question. Microfinance is much more a private sector initiative.
