A billion could be in extreme poverty by 2030 if leaders duck issues

The civil society is pushing leaders to embrace economic policies that check the soaring poverty levels and discrimination. Under the Action 2015 Kenya, the consortium of non-governmental organisations believe poverty, inequality and poor policies around climate change adversely affect millions of people around the world.

The groups have joined counterparts in the world in pressuring policy makers to revise the trend and improve the quality of life for millions of the vulnerable communities.
