Given the current international economic conditions, these nations are increasingly vulnerable to price shocks and natural disasters, lacking any recourse from global organisations as market-related support has vanished. Instead of addressing what should be our primary objective—lifting millions out of poverty and creating a stable economy—resources are being diverted elsewhere. China and India have successfully lifted millions from poverty in recent decades.

The future looks increasingly bleak unless we shift our focus to genuinely supporting these countries and their people.
