Never before so many e-mails were sent to and replied from different parts of the world, where GYAC Global Coordinating Body (GCB) members, Business Model team members, and the World Bank Institute (WBI) reside. Two crucial steps have been taken: electing the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of GCB, and continuing the process to deliver GYAC out of WBI's tutelage.…

Africa – Corruption: Our misplaced admiration

Published on: Friday, March 15th, 2013

By Milton Margai - Our admiration for corrupt individuals or groups in our societies (African) seems misplaced in my humble opinion.

Mohandas Gandhi once said: “if we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.”  Today, the majority (almost 85%) of the world’s youth live in developing countries, which means his guidance has become more important than ever when discussing development policy.  Additionally, the…

The times they are a’changin’! Your Global Coordinating Body is working hard and the GYAC Network is growing fast!

On January 31st, your GCB came together for the second videoconference of this year’s GYAC VC Series. Why? Two words, the Charter. Since the last annual forum in Nairobi, the GCB has been working together to cement the decisions that were made regarding the structure, membership, roles, and responsibilities of the Network and its members. We are almost there and…

How do you think the technologically-literate people empower the fight against corruption? You may think they'll use the most advanced gizmos to track or spy on the corrupters. Or at least, developing high-tech methods to catch the grafters red-handed.



But just like how the smartest guys are the ones…

Membaca judul tulisan ini, saya jadi tersenyum sendiri. Soalnya, kalau dengar jargon itu, yang pertama terpikir adalah penyadapan bagi koruptor a la investigator Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Atau pelacakan lokasi si penyeleweng dana melalui sinyal yang dikirimkan telepon selulernya ke satelit.



Istilah teknologi memang kadang membuat benak memikirkan hal supercanggih bak…
