-## Question of the week ##
-What, if anything, is similar about the MDC and the microcredit NGOs like the Grameen Bank in terms of what they pursue, how they pursue it, and how community members are involved? What does this tell you about the global context for these local initiatives? (For submission on [[http://elearning.sydney.edu.au|Blackboard as usual]].)
