Pascale Dubois - one of the best tools against corruption is a mobile phone #twconf12by Women Worldwide via twitter 12/5/2012 12:10:20 PM -
Pascale Dubois of World Bank says coalitions are the way forward - best results are seen when everyone is involved. There's a good example of this in the Philippines - a joint venture between Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, Coca Cola, government and World Bank. They set up a campaign to check that all the school books had arrived and to check they were good books. Then they text messaged to report whether they'd arrived or not. #twconf12 A good example of how things can improve, she says. -

If you let women know that, in their village, medication, food, schools are supposed to be available to them, they will be the ones that kick up a fuss, Dubois says. Women, as the primary care givers, have the most interest in seeing that what is promised to them is delivered, Dubois says. #twconf12 -
