Karol Boudreaux talks about her 6-year research program, in which she has investigated enterprise-based solutions to poverty in Africa. The projects that individual entrepreneurs have began are opening new horizons for many Africans facing poverty. Boudreaux discusses that by implementing policy changes, providing incentives and removing barriers, Africa is beginning to experience a sustainable economic rate.
