        @calestous Solving problems facing the poor is like empowering them. For them to rule, nothing has to be solved.

        @calestous Great Policy with NO Institutional Framework for Enforcement, Accountability & Impact (on citizens' lives) is ultimately inept.

        @calestous True, but organisers of such conferences also bear the blame for coming up with themes which do not emphasize problem solving.

        @jaydenbango @calestous I suppose one could have a similar poll for NGOs! The amount of workshops & conferences is shocking!

        @calestous that's because the electorate is more interested in seeing politicians talk than actually solving problems.

        @calestous if organizers insist on actionable deliverables, like African Higher Education Summit in March 2015, outcomes are different.

        @calestous Yet, as a hands-on worker, I have devised work-arounds and suggested improvements to countless processes; and usually ignored.
