E

Answer to Question 2

This problem is designed to get students to think about how development solutions in one country cannot necessarily be duplicated and be successful in another country. Answers should discuss the financial cost of implementing a similar program as well as the other necessary actions that would have to go hand in hand with such a program, such as the building of infrastructure and national level investments in health care among other things.
