Consider for example, chemically treated bad net,this bad nets kills mosquitoes and protect people against malaria while they are sleeping. New York University economist William Easterly says that this is one example of development gone round, in his recently book Professor Easterly suggests that bad nets given freely in Africa are often used for the wrong purposes, yet the world health organization recommends bad nets be given out freely and used by whole communities. The success of a large free bad net campaign in Kenya let the WHO to announce this recommendation last August The debate will likely influence social programs in the developing world.
