   Imagine a world where developing countries are the key drivers behind 
global
   economic growth, where about half or more of the purchasing power of the
   global economy stems from the developing world, a world where the number 
of
   people living on less than $1 a day has fallen from 1.1 billion now to 
550
   million in 2030. These are the key messages of the Global Economic 
Prospects
   2007: Managing the Next Wave of Globalization?a publication that has a 
lot of
   relevance to Kenya?s medium term development strategy, Vision 2030.=
