I remember going back to the same village in Kenya that I had lived in previously and being amazed at some of the changes. Most of them were small things, and I wouldn't have realized they were so significant unless I had been there to see how it was before. Hope that makes sense in the abstract. But my main comment is this: What would you say is the end goal of development and how do you define and recognize progress? My work in development is typically more grassroots and people focused, and the things you're writing about are more macro issues, so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
