We have been capable of the improbable: multiplying the number of poor by fifteen in half a century. The assistance-based models failed. Harmful aid has prevailed and the results are visible: 134,825 have died due to child malnutrition during the last seven decades, 70% of the children under 17 years of age live in marginalization and only 50% of the students complete high school. The cemetery is full of people who waited for a progress that never arrived. Meanwhile, in the world, the immense majority of countries have achieved unprecedented prosperity. Turning our backs on empirical evidence implies encouraging, due to immaturity, complicity, arrogance or ignorance, what condemns millions to suffer misery. There is no justification for tolerating loss of life because of it, since we know how to remedy it. The time has come to evaluate results. And to do. That is the only thing that counts.
