Okay.
It reads:
...necessary to foster equitable economic growth and sustainable development.... Bad governance produces bad outcomes, such as corruption, poor service delivery—
...A discussion about whether security or economic development or democratic development should come first could help raise important issues. But it is not particularly helpful to local communities who seek a better life and reduced vulnerability to poverty. Progress in all of these areas must happen simultaneously, if we hope to help them build a better future for their children.
What I would like to do is have your comments on a statement like that, given the consideration that we as a committee are looking at having new initiatives and new ways to approach this democratic development. Given a commonality of the committee, we're beginning to realize that, yes, the democratic development has to be included with the poverty reduction efforts and good governance efforts--all of these combined. Is it your feeling that we cannot look at this again as a way to hopefully take new strides in development in these areas and regions in the future, rather then being pessimistic and trying to go way off base into another area that may or may not be included, although it may well be? Should we not try again with this combined approach effort?
