2704
青年失业率是17%。
01:36
And Nairobi内罗毕, the major重大的 business商业 hub枢纽,
28
84785
2348
在商业中心内罗毕,
01:39
was rated额定 177th on the quality质量
of living活的 index指数.
29
87157
4075
生活质量指数排名只有到第177位。
01:43
It was bad.
30
91256
1204
情况很糟糕。
01:46
Now, an economy经济 is only as healthy健康
as the entities实体 that make it up.
31
94270
4459
现在,只有所有的组成体都健康,经济才会健康。
01:51
So when government政府 --
32
99187
1150
所以当组织里最重要的实体 --
01:52
one of its most vital重要 entities实体 --
33
100361
1745
政府
01:54
is weak or unhealthy不良,
34
102130
1438
虚弱或者不健康的时候,
01:55
everyone大家 and everything suffers患有.
35
103592
1983
所有的事情和人都会遭受苦难。
01:58
Sometimes有时 you might威力
put a Band-Aid创可贴 in place地点
36
106522
2773
有时候你会贴一个创可贴
02:01
to try and temporarily暂时 stop the pain疼痛.
37
109319
2512
去暂时止住疼痛。
02:04
Maybe some of you here have participated参加
38
112732
1982
可能你们中的某些人也参与过
02:06
in a Band-Aid创可贴 operation手术
to an African非洲人 country国家 --
39
114738
2979
在非洲国家的“创可贴”行动 --
02:09
setting设置 up alternative替代 schools学校,
building建造 hospitals医院, digging挖掘 wells --
40
117741
4482
例如建学校,建医院,挖井 --
02:14
because governments政府 there
either weren't or couldn't不能 provide提供
41
122247
2937
因为那里的政府没有提供或者没有能力提供
02:17
the services服务 to their citizens公民.
42
125208
1969
这些服务给他们的公民。
02:19
We all know this is a temporary临时 solution.
43
127900
2809
我们都知道这只是暂时的解决办法。
02:23
There are just some things
Band-Aids创可贴 can't fix固定,
44
131455
2785
有很多事情是“创可贴”解决不了的,
02:27
like providing提供 an environment环境
where businesses企业 feel secure安全
45
135027
4389
例如给商业提供一个稳定的环境,
02:31
that they'll他们会 have an equal等于 opportunity机会
46
139440
1811
让他们可以有一个平等的机会
02:33
to be able能够 to run and start开始
their businesses企业 successfully顺利.
47
141275
3242
得以成功地开始和运行他们的业务。
02:36
Or there are systems系统 in place地点
48
144541
1814
或者是提供适当的系统
02:38
that would protect保护 the private私人的
property属性 that they create创建.
49
146379
3041
去保护他们创造的私人财产。
02:41
I would argue争论,
50
149444
1157
我认为,
02:42
only government政府 is capable of creating创建
these necessary必要 conditions条件
51
150625
3444
只有政府才有能力创造这些必要的条件,
02:46
for economies经济 to thrive兴旺.
52
154093
1651
促进经济繁荣。
02:48
Economies经济 thrive兴旺 when business商业 are able能够
to quickly很快 and easily容易 set up shop.
53
156549
4838
当企业可以便捷地建立起店铺的时候
经济才会繁荣。
02:53
Business商业 owners拥有者 create创建 new sources来源
of income收入 for themselves他们自己,
54
161411
3372
业主们创造新的挣钱资源,
02:56
new jobs工作 get added添加 into the economy经济
55
164807
2451
新的工作岗位就会产生,
02:59
and then more taxes are paid支付
to fund基金 public上市 projects项目.
56
167282
3564
然后会有更多的税可以用来建设公共设施。
03:03
New business商业 is good for everyone大家.
57
171504
2463
新的商业对每个人都有好处。
03:06
And it's such这样 an important重要 measure测量
of economic经济 growth发展,
58
174415
2830
衡量经济成长也至关重要,
03:09
the World世界 Bank银行 has a ranking排行 called
the "Ease缓解 of Doing Business商业 Ranking排名,"
59
177269
3951
世界银行有一个排名叫做“轻松做商业排名”
03:13
which哪一个 measures措施 how easy简单
or difficult it is to start开始 a business商业
60
181244
3037
用来测量在所有国家里
03:16
in any given特定 country国家.
61
184305
1597
创业的难易程度。
03:17
And as you can imagine想像,
62
185926
1619
大家可以想象到,
03:20
starting开始 or running赛跑 a business商业
in a country国家 with an ailing生病 government政府 --
63
188404
3621
在一个不健康的政府下创业,
03:24
almost几乎 impossible不可能.
64
192049
1449
基本是不可能的。
03:26
The President主席 of Kenya肯尼亚 knew知道 this,
which哪一个 is why in 2014,
65
194432
3724
肯尼亚的总统知道这个情况,所以在2014年的时候,
03:30
he came来了 to our lab实验室 and asked
us to partner伙伴 with him
66
198180
3369
他来到了我们的实验室要求合作
03:33
to be able能够 to help Kenya肯尼亚
to jump-start快速启动 business商业 growth发展.
67
201573
3270
来帮助肯尼亚启动商业发展。
03:37
He set an ambitious有雄心 goal目标:
68
205689
1722
他定了一个非常有野心的目标:
03:39
he wanted Kenya肯尼亚 to be ranked排名 top最佳 50
in this World世界 Bank银行 ranking排行.
69
207778
4922
他想让肯尼亚进入世界银行排名前50.
03:45
In 2014 when he came来了,
70
213167
2077
但当他2014年来的时候,
03:47
Kenya肯尼亚 was ranked排名 136 out of 189 countries国家.
71
215268
4326
在189个国家里,肯尼亚排名136.
03:52
We had our work cut out for us.
72
220071
2156
他给了我们很大的工作量。
03:55
Fortunately幸好, he came来了 to the right place地点.
73
223592
2701
幸运的是,他来到对了地方。
03:58
We're not just a Band-Aid创可贴 kind of team球队.
74
226317
2327
我们并不只是个“创可贴”队伍。
04:00
We're a group of computer电脑 scientists科学家们,
mathematicians数学家, engineers工程师
75
228668
3766
我们队伍里有电脑科学家,数学家,工程师,
04:04
and a cancer癌症 researcher研究员,
76
232458
1937
和一个癌症研究者。
04:06
who understood了解 that in order订购
to cure治愈 the sickness疾病
77
234419
2446
我们明白要拯救一个像政府一样
04:08
of a system系统 as big as government政府,
78
236889
2074
庞大的系统,
04:10
we needed需要 to examine检查 the whole整个 body身体,
79
238987
2400
我们需要整体的检测,
04:13
and then we needed需要 to drill钻头 down
all the way from the organs器官,
80
241411
3087
从大的器官开始,
04:16
into the tissues组织,
81
244522
1333
到小的组织,
04:17
all the way to single cells细胞,
82
245879
1502
再到单片细胞,
04:19
so that we could properly正确
make a diagnosis诊断.
83
247405
2337
才能够给出一个合理的诊断。
04:22
So with our marching行军 orders命令
from the President主席 himself他自己,
84
250762
2831
接受了总统本人的指令,
04:25
we embarked开始 on the purest最纯净的
of the scientific科学 method方法:
85
253617
3113
我们以最纯粹的科学研究手段开始:
04:28
collecting搜集 data数据 --
86
256754
1175
收集信息 --
04:29
all the data数据 we could get our hands on --
87
257953
2087
收集所有我们能接触到的信息--
04:32
making制造 hypotheses假设,
88
260064
1257
做出假设,
04:33
creating创建 solutions解决方案,
89
261345
1237
得出解决方法,
04:34
one after the other.
90
262606
1192
一个接一个。
04:36
So we met会见 with hundreds数以百计 of individuals个人
who worked工作 at government政府 agencies机构,
91
264845
4035
我们跟上百个在政府机关工作的人见了面,
04:40
from the tax agency机构, the lands土地
office办公室, utilities公用事业 company公司,
92
268904
3936
从税务局,地政处,公用事业公司,
04:44
the agency机构 that's responsible主管
for registering注册 companies公司,
93
272864
3468
到负责注册公司的机关。
04:48
and with each of them, we observed观察到的
them as they served提供服务 customers顾客,
94
276356
3599
我们观察了每一个人是如何对待客户的,
04:51
we documented记录 their processes流程 --
most of them were manual手册.
95
279979
4613
记录了整个处理过程 -- 大部分都是手工。
04:57
We also just went back and looked看着 at
a lot of their previous以前 paperwork证件
96
285473
3456
我们还看了很多他们以前的文件,
05:00
to try and really understand理解;
97
288953
2168
努力去理解,
05:03
to try and diagnose诊断 what bodily身体
malfunctions故障 had occurred发生
98
291145
3350
努力地诊断把使我们世界银行排名排到136名的
05:06
that lead to that 136th spot
on the World世界 Bank银行 list名单.
99
294519
3308
出问题的环节。
05:10
What did we find?
100
298248
1303
我们找到了什么?
05:11
Well, in Kenya肯尼亚 it was taking服用 72 days
101
299974
4071
在肯尼亚,一个创业者想要注册他的产权,
05:16
for a business商业 owner所有者
to register寄存器 their property属性,
102
304069
2944
需要72天。
05:19
compared相比 to just one day in New Zealand新西兰,
103
307037
2397
然而在世界银行排名第二的新西兰,
05:21
which哪一个 was ranked排名 second第二
on the World世界 Bank银行 list名单.
104
309458
2378
只需要1天。
05:24
It took 158 days to get
a new electric电动 connection连接.
105
312827
4385
得到供电需要158天。
05:29
In Korea韩国 it took 18 days.
106
317879
2432
在韩国只需要18天。
05:32
If you wanted to get a construction施工 permit许可证
107
320984
2053
如果你想要一个建筑许可证,
05:35
so you could put up a building建造,
108
323061
1520
去盖一幢楼,
05:36
in Kenya肯尼亚, it was going
to take you 125 days.
109
324605
3571
在肯尼亚,这个过程要125天。
05:40
In Singapore新加坡, which哪一个 is ranked排名 first,
that would only take you 26 days.
110
328200
4446
在排名第一的新加坡,只需要26天。
05:45
God forbid禁止 you had to go to court法庭
111
333580
2044
更别提如果你需要去法院寻求帮助
05:47
to get help in being存在 able能够 to settle解决
a dispute争议 to enforce执行 a contract合同,
112
335648
3887
来解决一个合同执行方面的争议,
05:51
because that process处理 alone单独
would take you 465 days.
113
339559
4281
光是单单这一个过程就需要465天。
05:57
And if that wasn't bad enough足够,
114
345065
1932
如果这还不算糟,
06:00
you would lose失去 40 percent百分
of your claim要求 in just fees费用 --
115
348675
4152
只是费用方面,你会失去40%的索赔
06:04
legal法律 fees费用, enforcement强制 fees费用, court法庭 fees费用.
116
352851
2872
法务费用,执行费用,法院费用。
06:09
Now, I know what you're thinking思维:
117
357108
2073
我知道你在想什么:
06:12
for there to exist存在 such这样 inefficiencies低效
in an African非洲人 country国家,
118
360726
3667
有这么一个没效率的非洲国家存在,
06:16
there must必须 be corruption腐败.
119
364417
1360
肯定是因为腐败。
06:18
The very cells细胞 that run the show显示
must必须 be corrupt腐败 to the bone.
120
366491
3476
运行这个国家的点点滴滴肯定都腐败到了骨子里。
06:22
I thought so, too, actually其实.
121
370972
1532
我其实也这么认为过。
06:24
When we started开始 out,
122
372984
1153
当我们刚开始这个项目的时候,
06:26
I thought I was going to find
so much corruption腐败,
123
374161
3488
我以为我会找到很多腐败的证据,
06:29
I was literally按照字面 going to either die
or get killed杀害 in the process处理.
124
377673
3496
我真的以为在这个过程中我会死掉或者被暗杀。
06:33
(Laughter笑声)
125
381193
1543
(笑声)
06:36
But when we dug deeper更深,
126
384946
1955
但当我们挖的更深,
06:38
we didn't find corruption腐败
in the classic经典 sense:
127
386925
2635
我们并没有找到传统意义上的腐败:
06:42
slimy泥泞的 gangsters歹徒 lurking潜伏 in the darkness黑暗,
128
390106
3008
谄媚的黑帮潜伏在黑暗中,
06:45
waiting等候 to grease润滑脂 the palms手掌
of their friends朋友.
129
393138
2317
等着去贿赂他们的朋友。
06:48
What we found发现 was an overwhelming压倒
sense of helplessness无奈.
130
396139
3986
我们找到的其实是沉重的的无助感。
06:53
Our government政府 was sick生病,
131
401684
1262
我们的政府不健康,
06:54
because government政府
employees雇员 felt helpless无助.
132
402970
3524
是因为政府的员工感到无助,
06:58
They felt that they were not
empowered授权 to drive驾驶 change更改.
133
406993
3083
他们觉得自己没有能力做出任何改变。
07:02
And when people feel stuck卡住 and helpless无助,
134
410600
3636
然而当人们觉得深陷泥潭,无能为力的时候,
07:06
they stop seeing眼看 their role角色
in a bigger system系统.
135
414968
2495
他们在庞大的系统里迷失了自我。
07:10
They start开始 to think the work they do
doesn't matter in driving主动 change更改.
136
418265
4469
他们开始觉得自己做的事情不会带来任何改变。
07:14
And when that happens发生,
137
422758
1806
当这种现象发生的时候,
07:16
things slow down,
138
424588
1593
所有事情就会慢下来,
07:18
fall秋季 through通过 the cracks裂缝
139
426205
1420
被忽略,
07:19
and inefficiencies低效 flourish繁荣.
140
427649
1766
效率越来越低。
07:23
Now imagine想像 with me,
141
431171
1765
现在跟我一起想象,
07:24
if you had a process处理
you had to go through通过 --
142
432960
3938
如果你有一个必须经历的过程 --
07:28
had no other alternative替代 --
143
436922
1770
没有别的选择--
07:30
and this process处理 was inefficient低效, complex复杂
144
438716
3047
然后这个过程非常的复杂且低效
07:34
and very, very slow.
145
442461
1390
非常非常慢。
07:35
What would you do?
146
443875
1224
你会怎么做?
07:38
I think you might威力 start开始 by trying
to find somebody to outsource外包 it to,
147
446482
3328
我觉得你可能会找一些外援
07:41
so that they can just
take care关心 of that for you.
148
449834
2345
然后他们就可以帮你解决。
07:44
If that doesn't work,
149
452800
1404
如果这也行不通,
07:47
maybe you'd consider考虑 paying付款 somebody
150
455307
2010
你可能会考虑付钱给一些人
07:49
to just "unofficially非正式地" take care关心
of it on your behalf代表 --
151
457341
3380
去“非正式”的替你解决这个问题 --
07:52
especially特别 if you thought
nobody没有人 was going to catch抓住 you.
152
460745
2758
尤其是当你觉得没人会抓你的时候。
07:56
Not out of malice恶意 or greed贪心,
153
464790
2370
并不是出于恶意或者贪心,
07:59
just trying to make sure that you get
something to work for you
154
467184
3091
只是想要确保问题可以被解决,
08:02
so you can move移动 on.
155
470299
1158
然后你可以不用再担心。
08:03
Unfortunately不幸, that
is the beginning开始 of corruption腐败.
156
471918
3010
不幸的是,这就是腐败的开端。
08:07
And if left to thrive兴旺 and grow增长,

08:09

1566
浸入系统的每个角落,
08:11
and before you know it,

1370
然后在你意识到之前,
08:12
the whole整个 body身体 is sick生病.
160
480770
1565
整个系统就已经不健康了。
08:16

得知这些,
08:17

1350
你不是肯尼亚来的。
10:24
You don't intend打算 to be an entrepreneur企业家.

But think with me for just a moment时刻.
204

1962
但你想想,
10:29
When is the last time

10:42
It's easy简单 in this political政治
and global全球 economy经济
208
630644
2770
在这个金融政治全球化的世界里,
10:45
to want to give up when we think
about transforming转型 government政府.
209
633438
3050
政府的改革往往半途而废。
10:49
We can easily容易 resign辞职 to the fact事实
or to the thinking思维
210
637386
3501
我们很容易就向一些事实或者想法投降,
10:52
that government政府 is too inefficient低效,
211

太腐败,
10:56
unfixable无法修复.

无法修复。
10:58
We might威力 even rarely很少 get
some key government政府 responsibilities责任
214
646527
3437
我们甚至不清楚政府的重要职责
11:01
to other sectors行业,
215
649988
1200
对别的机构,
11:03
to Band-Aid创可贴 solutions解决方案,
216
651212
1169
对”创可贴“解决方法,
11:04
or to just give up and feel helpless无助.
217
652405
2568
或者就直接放弃或者感到无助。
11:08
But just because a system系统 is sick生病
doesn't mean it's dying垂死.
218
656029
3883
但是机构不健康并不代表不可修复。
11:12
We cannot不能 afford给予 to give up
219
660689
2807
当修复政府的挑战来临时,
11:15
when it comes to the challenges挑战
of fixing定影 our governments政府.
