- Abstract
- Despite efforts that have been made throughout the last decades and recent accomplishments in the fight against poverty, four billion people around the globe suffer from the effects of poverty. The world’s poor lack the skills necessary to bring development to their communities on their own and development aid agencies have an inefficient structure towards localizing the money spent on projects. Through the analysis of the economic behavioral effects of poverty and social entrepreneurship tools we develop a strategy to be used by development aid agencies that will ultimately, involve the community, generate financial education and promote local economic development.
