Days 11 to 15 - World Bank
franzisalzer, 04:46h
Today is my second last day at the World Bank, before I go on travelling to New Zealand...
It's been a great time, including really nice colleagues, loads of insights into the activities of the World Bank and especially it's external relations team, some special events like videocons and discussion-forums and nice filipino food in lunch times once in a while... :)
In the last days, I've continued helping Kitchie with the media monitoring of the financial turmoil and assisted Rom in sending out letters to partners.
Yesterday morning, I had a meeting with Moira to talk about my ideas for the "Related Links" website, which I have still been working on.
Afterwards, I designed and gathered information for a joint World Bank - World Health Organization - Asian Development Bank - Portal for the Philippines. All of these organisations have libraries or information centers open to the public whose facilities, services, databases, programs and contact information will be published on a joint website.
Apart from that, I am working on my feedback assessment which I have to complete to give Moira some suggestions on improving the output of the Youth Learning Program for future participants and for the World Bank. I get to write about my expectations, my tasks and experiences and my recommendations...
Tomorrow, a discussion-forum on Conditional Cash Transfer will take place in the Asian Institute of Management, where I've been once before for the "Youth Entrepreneurship" Videocon. CCT is a program that gives money to the poorest families who have to fullfill certain requirements like sending their children to school and having medical treatment to recieve that money. This program has some opposers, so after talks by several people, there is room for one and a half hours of interesting discussion. I have to help document the discussion highlights as a basis for the synthesis and closing remarks - important work, so I really hope I don't screw up! I need to understand what they talk about... :) so today I'll have to do some research on CCT!
Afterwards, I will attend the general assembly of a cooperation named "Bantay Lansangan" of the Department of Public Works and Highways that analyses, monitors and supports reforms in the road sector, which will hopefully be an interesting ending of my Youth Learning Program...
