I am disappointed at the lack of effective quantification of progress and the reality that this area of global socio-enviro-economic progress has been very weak for a very long time. In my view with better metrics we can do a lot better! > I am an old accountant who worked on international humanitarian assistance and development for more than 30 years. Effective metrics are missing. We need better metrics to have success! > Peter Burgess I am an old accountant who worked on international humanitarian assistance and development for more than 30 years.
