What Do Youthink! About These Issues?

"Alpha Bee," 23, Sierra Leone

Human Rights
The greatest responsiblity of World Leaders today, should be to respect their rights and respect the right of others and ensure that there is no place for impunity in the globe.

"dazwazz," 17, Kenya

Poverty
I'd first and foremost, like to thank the World Bank Org. in Kenya for it's understanding and effort. secondly i'd like to urge the World Bank Org. to provide an easier way for children in poor families to gain grants and sponserships inorder to boost the interest of knowledge closer to them. Kenya's young bright minds are corrupted easily by drugs and alcohol because most of them are drowning in poverty which creates lack of school fees and other resources for high school students. Thanks for taking time to read this.

Kemi, 24, Nigeria

Youth
in my community there is a serious information gulf. efforts are focused basically on urbanized areas. i think that much success will be achieved if focus is shifted to young people (as stakeholders, who are the voices).

"simnhle," 22, Zimbabwe

Youth
youth are the engine for change

"donespera," 25, Benin

Youth
Just to confirm that the development of Africa is nowdays the buisness of the youth.The partners must collaborate with the youngs ensuring them a good education and associating them to all the forums about development. I ask really the partners to never omit the youngs in their programs. The youngs are fhe future of all Africa and the reforms on the development must be dicussed with them.

Youth
I think youth should be involved in "decision making" in our present despensation, in a sense that their views should be heard. Because of "mistrust" there is always a conflict between the youth and the aged, because none seems to believe in whatsoever the other is doing. So the only way forward is to put all hands on deck, so that we move forward.

"crystal ball," 14, Australia

World Hunger
I don't know why we even have world poverty when there is enough food in this world to stop it. Places like KFC, McDonalds and Hungry Jacks are places that cook a lot of food during the day but the food they don't sell they chuck out without giving a thought about giving this food to the homeless and less fortunate. I think it is so wrong.

"notorious.gib," 15, USA

Multinational Corporations
I think that you should have more information about multinational corporations. i am currently doing a project for my asian studies class at the international school of beijing where i am a freshman. i think that even though the world bank is a MNC it should have information about other MNCs.
