The World Bank fails to credit the intelligence of the world’s poor
國際援助與現實的差距


前FT非洲版主編霍爾曼:世行一份報告給出的證據顯示,該機構許多員工對窮人的認知存在「偏見」。這種偏見很可能會加重窮人揹負的負擔。

When a report by the world’s most influential development agency provides evidence that many of its staff are “biased” in their perceptions of the poor and their needs, one might expect eyebrows to be raised. When the president of that institution — the World Bank, no less — acknowledges the flaw and goes on to call for “measures to mitigate these biases, such as more rigorously diagnosing the mindsets of the people we are trying to help”, jaws should be dropping.
