Acumen is a Bold New Way of Tackling Poverty Help Aina - Accueil Global Development 2.0 The fight against global poverty has quickly become one of the hottest tickets on the global agenda—with rock stars, world leaders, and multibillionaires calling attention to the plight of the poor at international confabs such as the World Economic Forum and the Clinton Global Initiative.
