Rich / Poor Gap
Solutions to the rich – poor gap include empowering communities – with an emphasis on women and minorities – to control local resources and make sustainable decisions.
Another solution is to build capacity through education, health care, and access to credit and communication.
Supporting the development of responsive and accountable governance, and conditions supportive of democracy – literacy, social health, and a free press can also help.
Promoting equitable trade - with an emphasis on helping developing countries improve standards of living through sustainable development – and relieving the debt burden of the world’s least developed nations.
