Obama’s Message for Africa
Keywords:
This WSJ editorial says U.S. president Obama's message in Kenya and in Ghana before this trip, that Africans are responsible for their own future and how they treat their fellow citizens, is the right message. Coming from personal experience of his family the message should persuade people in Africa, particularly politicians and business people, of the need to put the common good before their own. And the need to improve the economic condition and living standards of the people on this vast continent that is nowhere near its potential.
Barack Obama, Ann Dunham and Barrack Hussein Obama Sr.

A new vision for the World Bank in 2013-
04/18/2013
A new vision for the World Bank focusses on the work in India and sub-Shaharan Africa where many of the world's poor live. The focus now shifts to countries where people are entering the middle class but still live only one mishap from falling back. This includes many developing countries such as Mexico and Brazil which are making progress but have large areas where people are struggling to enter the middle class.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
