A Counterintuitive Solution to Poverty: Stop Trying to Eradicate It | Efosa Ojomo | TEDxBYU

What might seem like the obvious signs of fixing poverty— providing resources that poor communities lack such as water wells, schools, and hospitals – often falls short of actually solving poverty and creating a sustainable path to prosperity. In this talk, Efosa Ojomo describes a fundamental misunderstanding many development organizations and philanthropies have with fixing poverty, then highlights an interesting and surprising insight. Efosa Ojomo is currently a senior research fellow at
the Clayton Christensen Institute, where he leads global
prosperity research. He works alongside Harvard professor
Clayton Christensen in identifying the best ways to help
entrepreneurs, policy makers, and development practitioners
spur economic prosperity in low- and middle-income
countries, as well as in depressed regions in high-income
economies. His work has been published by the Harvard
Business Review, Guardian, Quartz, and the World Bank. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
