After 10 years, few payoffs from Gates "Grand Challenges"
*Despite an investment of $1 billion, none of the projects funded under the
Gates Foundation's "Grand Challenges" banner has made a significant
contribution to saving lives and improving health in the developing world*

<http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=29cbc7e6c21e0a8fd2a82aeb8&id=1ec9a9bdf3&e=416efb9114>
beautifully sums up why Bill Gates's high-tech 'solutions' to developing
world problems, including GM enhanced-nutrition crops, are misguided and
mostly serve to divert funding from proven successful approaches.
