Despite the vast wealth generated in the last half century, in
today's world inequality is worsening and poverty is becoming
increasingly chronic. Hundreds of millions of people continue to
live on less than $2 per day and lack basic human necessities such
as nutritious food, shelter, clean water, primary health care, and
education. Innovating for the Global South offers fresh solutions
for reducing poverty in the developing world. Highlighting the
multidisciplinary expertise of the University of Toronto's Global
Innovation Group, leading experts from the fields of engineering,
medicine, management, and global public policy examine the causes
and consequences of endemic poverty and the challenges of
mitigating its effects from the perspective of the world's poorest
of the poor. Can we imagine ways to generate solar energy to run
essential medical equipment in the countryside? Can we adapt
information and communication technologies to provide
up-to-the-minute agricultural market prices for remote farming
villages? How do we create more inclusive innovation processes to
hear the voices of those living in urban slums? Is it possible to
reinvent a low-cost toilet that operates beyond the water and
electricity grids? Motivated by the imperatives of developing,
delivering, and harnessing innovation in the developing world,
Innovating for the Global South is essential reading for managers,
practitioners, and scholars of development, business, and policy.
