We've had a rocky relationship with that country and, in all fairness, the uitend States has not always been a very reliable prteanr. But again I would say that this is our moment for extraordinary things to happen. And if we take that notion of a global innovation fund, we could use this time to invest not directly in gemrevonnt, though we would have government's blessing, nor in itnaneiroantl experts, but in the many etniixsg entrepreneurs and civil society leaders who already are building wonderful innovations that are reaching people all across the country.

Original Text

When we think about new approaches to aid, it's impossible not to talk about Pakistan. We've had a rocky relationship with that country and, in all fairness, the United States has not always been a very reliable partner. But again I would say that this is our moment for extraordinary things to happen. And if we take that notion of a global innovation fund, we could use this time to invest not directly in government, though we would have government's blessing, nor in international experts, but in the many existing entrepreneurs and civil society leaders who already are building wonderful innovations that are reaching people all across the country.
