Reinventing Foreign Aid: "Help Us Help Ourselves"
| |
| Participants discussed how to improve aid allocation, increase its efficiency and reduce wastage. The goal is to deploy aid better to enhance the prospects for sustainable development, said Robert Klitgaard, Professor of International Development and Security and Dean, The RAND Graduate School, USA. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, President of Mozambique, agreed that the key issue is efficiency. He noted that often while donors and recipients might agree on principles and delivery terms, full implementation of aid programmes are often not smooth or timely. Problems arise sometimes for such simple reasons as the difference between when the fiscal year begins in developing countries and developed ones. The aid community must look at ways to solve problems and improve efficiency so that non performing countries become performing ones. |

Man Up for Success
| |
| Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their life and career. It's never too late to do so. Antonio Rocha was 18 years old and about to graduate from high school -- but he couldn't read. He committed to taking personal responsibility for his life when he pressured the New York City school board into giving him a private tutor to help him learn to read. He is a role model for all of us. He knew that he didn't have the skills to survive in the world of work, and he did what he needed to do to get them. If you want to succeed in your life and career, you need to do the same. Commit to taking personal responsibility for your success. |
