On my visit to Malawi in 1993 I saw what some of the groups were attempting to do, and with considerable success. However, the moral of the story is that our efforts and the resources we were pouring into the country were not sufficient. We must redouble our commitment to bring our contribution to development aid up to 0.7% of GNP. The scale of the problem is enormous because almost 80% of the world's population are living in some degree of poverty, deprivation and disadvantage.
