That is made by man and it is mainly men who are causing these conflicts. Hunger, inequality and disadvantage are all things which must be addressed. If we are playing a positive role and if Irish Aid funding is not tied to Government policy or anything else, that is key. It is transforming people's lives. Coming up with technologies which can double food production in a particular area is transformative. It changes everything. It is the fact that water is being brought to a village and so on.
