In the development community, we are so focused on all the work that remains to be done that we often forget to stop and consider the remarkable progress that's been made so far.
At this year's TED2013 conference, musician and anti-poverty activist Bono highlighted the achievements made in global development over the past several decades through a series of well-designed and informative infographics.
While it's clear that many challenges remain in achieving a poverty-free world, this talk is a good reminder of what development practicioners, policymakers, researchers, advocates and the world as a whole can accomplish when we focus our efforts on improving the quality of life of marginalized people around the world.
