Improving Governance and Fighting Corruption: The Perspective of the Region’s Youth
March 13, 2007
The Young Americas Business Trust (YABT), a nonprofit corporation affiliated with the Organization of American States (OAS), will participate in a project to seek ideas and recommendations from the region’s youth on how to strengthen governance and the fight against corruption.
YABT will cooperate on the project with the Business, Competitiveness and Development Team of the World Bank Institute (WBI) and the OAS Summits of the Americas Secretariat.
Through this initiative, young people from the OAS member states will have the opportunity to be heard at the highest levels and to be active initiators of change in their communities, according to YABT Chief Executive Officer Roy Thomasson.
The Young Americas Business Trust invites young people from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean to complete a brief questionnaire, which will be available on the Web until March 31. The first question it asks is, “How does corruption affect you in your daily life and how can you fight corruption?”
Once it receives the responses, YABT will prepare a report to be delivered at the meeting of civil society representatives with the region’s foreign ministers, which will take place on June 3 in Panama City, Panama, in the framework of the XXXVII OAS General Assembly. The OAS Summits Secretariat has provided critical support and cooperation in the development of this initiative.
YABT has been working on this issue with the World Bank Institute, which is holding a conference this week in Brussels, Belgium, on Improving Governance and Fighting Corruption: New Frontiers in Public-Private Partnerships. During that conference, March 14-15, opinions will be sought from youth around the world, and a subsequent report will be presented to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund Spring Meeting.
The YABT survey will complement the WBI effort, focusing on the countries of the Americas.
