So if we want to help people not only get back on their feet today but prosper tomorrow, we need to take a rigorous newapproach to higher education and technical training.
We have tried here in Kampala to develop anewapproach to higher education by giving professionals an opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge by studying at home or in the office.
By encouraging girls and their communities to propose solutions to the many obstacles to completion of secondary education, it introduces anewapproach to designing and carrying out projects aimed at keeping girls in school.
We need anewapproach to governance that includes more respect not only for students in need of high-quality education but also for taxpayers, that has less job-killing red tape, and that fosters a more productive work force.
