Hello, I'm Fee Glover, and you're listening to My Perfect Country on the BBC World Service.

If you find yourself looking around the world right now and wanting to hold your head in your hands and sigh with sorrow,

then this is the series that wants to turn that hunched sigh

into a straight back gasp of wonder. This is the place where we look at bits of the

world that actually work, policies that are actually making progress and we imagine what it would take to

build a perfect country what would you put in yours? In my perfect country. In my

perfect country everyone would have the equal opportunity to go on parent and leave regardless of gender.

There would be free dance classes, free health care, free education, and no pollution.

There would be the sun every day.

There would be no homeless people

on living on the streets.

This is very much a collective effort.

It's not just us deciding which policies we look at, it's you.

So do you know of something that's succeeded?

You can email us at perfect country at BBC.co.

UK or visit the My perfect country at bbbbbbbbbbbbbbc. Or visit the my perfect country webpage on the bbbbbbbbbbbbcie site.

That's where our bank of previous approved policies is stored from suicide prevention

to wave and wind technology anything that works that's what this series is all about.

I'm Marthe Lane Fox, and this week I've got my finger on the button to cue the music,

so can you guess where we're off to?

Of course you knew, we're heading to Peru to look at a rate of poverty reduction that's taken South America and actually the world by storm.

We're joined as always by Professor Henrietta Moore from the Institute for Global Prosperity
