Ending global poverty: Why money is not enough [1]

The world continues to see high poverty in middle-income countries. In this VoxDev talk, Rohini Pande discusses how invisible infrastructure is the necessary compliment required for the poor to access visible infrastructure. To improve marginalised individuals’ access to services, we must go beyond traditional development policies and think of policies that address the restrictive norms and constraints they face.
