“The Poor Can’t Wait: Poverty and Debt Relief” is an 88-page development policy book by Warren Nyamugasira and Bill Walker, published by World Vision International in March 2000. This insightful work offers a critical examination of late-20th-century macroeconomic policies, asserting that impoverished communities cannot endure lengthy international debt-relief negotiations or await “trickle-down” economic changes to secure essential resources. Warren Nyamugasira contributes an empirical case study of post-genocide Rwanda, while Bill Walker provides a historical analysis of global debt traps. Together, they illustrate how stringent structural adjustment programs negatively impact child survival, education, and healthcare. The book culminates in a compelling appeal for global financial institutions to enact immediate, unconditional debt cancellation, directly linked to transparent, community-driven poverty-reduction strategies.
