Jeffrey Sachs on a Green Revolution in Africa

Via the PSD Blog, I found this item by Jeffrey Sachs and Glen Denning, urging G8 nations to fulfill their promise to Africa. What's most interesting is that Sachs employs a frame he hasn't used much, which urges donor nations to look to the leadership of Africa's own success stories, like Malawi and put our money where that success points the way.

It is through support for these kinds of proven, home-grown initiatives, Sachs argues, the G8 can trigger a green revolution in Africa and truly help these poor countries help themselves. Interesting.
