¿Los esfuerzos de filantropía tradicional están realmente quitando dinero a los pobres? El exmiembro del Parlamento del Reino Unido Rory Stewart explica por qué muchos proyectos de desarrollo global desperdician dinero en programas que no funcionan. Aboga por un cambio radical basado en la evidencia: dar transferencias de efectivo incondicionales directamente a quienes lo necesitan, un método que podría desbloquear el secreto para abordar la pobreza extrema en todo el mundo.

Para acabar con la pobreza extrema, da dinero... no consejos

Professor, former Member of Parliament, UK

Traditional aid projects often waste resources on bureaucracy and fail to meet basic needs, leaving nearly half a billion people in Africa unable to afford essentials. In contrast, direct cash transfers have transformed entire communities, boosting education, health, and incomes without complex interventions. Evidence shows that people use this money wisely, resulting in a multiplier effect that benefits surrounding villages. Technology now makes it possible to reach those in need efficiently and at scale.
