PM Imran Khan, Bill Gates ‘chicken formula’ for poverty alleviation

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan sparked a controversy last week when he presented a ‘chicken formula’ for poverty alleviation and then defended it by bringing in Microsoft founder Bill Gates in his support.

However, a study published in Daily Jang shows how the formula was unable to achieve the desired results in the African countries where it was implemented and also became matter of considerable criticism from experts.

Gates’ program titled ‘Coop Dreams’ in Africa of delivering 100,000 rural women to ease poverty was challenged by BBC’s Africa business reporter Matthew Davis who asks where the feed and the land will come from once the population expands while adding that the increase would also result to the price falling.
