Impulse the private sector action

Dear Colleagues,
When I see the impact of public efforts or the Non profit organizations efforts for fighting against poverty, I see the following results:-
Most of the resources of international aid for development is managed By public institutions and NGO's.
Most of the projects they manage do not bring the real impact in Reducing poverty.
Most of private organizations or individuals do not have access to These projects.
Most of the resources are being spent.
Most of those projects are victims of corruption.
Lots of NGO's participate in corruption, because there are a lot of These organizations created only with a business vision.
They want to be profitable enterprises hidden in their legal condition for capturing financial aid.
So, I propose to the international institutions as World Bank, or the United Nations, to review their policies for giving their financial aid for development in developing countries.
The corruption is hidden in many cases with very well done informs by the public or NGO institution who is managing the resources and the poverty is not being alleviated.
We need the international agencies to promote the participation of Private sector and individuals in those kind of projects as protagonists actors in coordination with the public and NGO's control.
Here in developing countries is not working the ansparency and in many cases we have traffic of influences with the development projects without achievement of poverty reduction goals and rather promoting corruption,
violence and poverty.
Private sector is a very good tool for building a best future for all.
It is only matter of review policies and procedures to include this in the development projects.Finaly I like to thank my Friend Fiona about this Great Idea and togther by our effortes and our Ideas we will let the poverty word in History.

Youths and the MDGS
October 24, 2005 - 09:32 AM

Hello all,
Youths creating awareness on the millennium development goals and reminding our governments of their committments to achieving the MDGS is now gaining more support in Nigeria. This became more glaring during the just concluded National youth leadership training summit that focused on the MDGS and youth involvement. We shared resources with TIG in facilitating the workshops. Government officials who came around pledged their support in allowing more participation of youths in achieving the MDGS
