Description
Byline: Huzaima Bukhari and Dr. Ikramul Haq South Asia - comprising Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - is home to almost half the poor of the world. For millions of people in the region, life is full of misery. The governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have continuously been preoccupied with plans and actions to change the fate of these people and in doing so have attracted more criticism than appreciation for their work. The international agencies, especially the World Bank, have contributed substantially for the people of South Asia during the last many decades, but the fact remains that poverty is still there and basic issues of education, health and shelter are posing challenges for all the states.
