“Only informed and empowered citizens can hold their leaders accountable. Leaders who know that their citizens cannot hold them accountable tend to be irresponsible, abuse power and abuse their citizens. They mismanage resources and in the process cause much poverty and suffering. In fighting poverty it is essential to empower communities”
Wangari Maathai
