There’s a fantastic new RSA animation questioning what we want our economies to achieve, based on a talk by Kate Raworth, which is well worth watching.
It seems very pertinent to the approach we’re taking with the IRIBA project.
Brazil hasn’t had the most spectacular headline rates of growth in the world – but it has achieved growth while reducing poverty, inequality and improving social justice.
Brazil hasn’t chased growth to the exclusion of all else, but as a means to an end. It hasn’t gotten everything right, but there’s a lot to learn from.
We’re deliberately taking a holistic view of the key elements involved in Brazil’s development and we hope this approach will provide a better answer as to how African countries can achieve the kind of growth that also promotes social justice.
