Dr. Jeffrey Sachs on the Strategic Steps Out of Poverty
Dear UniversalGiving Friends:

UniversalGiving's CEO, Pamela Hawley, held a private interview with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, world renowned economist who has devoted his life to strategically alleviating poverty. Watch this thought provoking question and answer session.

What's in the interview:

  • Is there a scaleable way for countries to rise out of poverty, a solution which can be applied across different communities and countries?
  • What is the balance between internal buy-in and execution by a country's leaders, versus the external resources and leadership needed?
  • When a disaster occurs, how does one take both a short-term as well as long-term approach in economic recovery? What are the necessary steps to put in place, even while the crisis is occurring?

Please join Dr. Sachs and UniversalGiving's CEO Pamela Hawley for this interview. We encourage you to support Dr. Sachs' important work, supplanting poverty with a long-term, practical solution!

Sincerely,
The UniversalGiving Team
