Right, Meron, one short paragraph - I'll try.

The aim is to divide up all the world's poorest countries into geographical areas of equal population size. Then randomly to match them with geographical areas of similar size taken from all of the world's richer countries. This will mean that two fifths of the world's population (the richest fifth and the poorest fifth) will be given a partner area to share interests and information with, to form friendships and, hopefully, to figure out ways to help each other. How each area goes about this will ultimately be up them, but a guidance manual (called the Worldwide Connectory) will contain step by step suggestions of how to approach the task (as well as complete listings of all the partner areas across the world).
