ABSTRACT

I have written this chapter as a very personal account of my own

small efforts in promoting PV in developing countries. Over the past

30 something years I have been privileged to travel and work in

50 odd countries of the developing world. This has been at times

exhilarating, at times depressing, even infuriating. I write about a

small selection of these experiences. I apologise to any individuals,

countries or institutions I might offend.
