Hello Professor, thank you for taking the time to answer questions today! My question is in concerns to your work on the Millennium Village Project, which I think brought a lot of young people into the development arena around in 2006. I am wondering what your response is to those who criticize the MVP as grandoise, who believe that the $120M could have been used to foster more targeted development projects in Africa? I am also wondering if you would address the MVP's success/failure in Africa, as you see it? Some, such as the Center for Global Development, believe that the effectiveness of the Villages cannot be measured with normal growth in Africa accounted for, due to the project's refusal to compare the growth in MVP Villages with other villages. It would be great to hear your take. Thank you for your time again!
