We had the priveledge to meet people working with the Inter-American Development Bank who were, among many things, undertaking large projects to decentralize Latin America and improve urban standards of living. We also met people working with the Organization of American States, specifically in the Department for State Modernization and Governance and in the Inter-American Program for Education on Democratic Values and Practices. I saved the best for last. We got to meet with a former mayor of La Paz Bolivia who currently works at the World Bank, Ronald MacLean-Aboroa. During his terms he managed to quell rapidly growing corruption in the municipal government. He shed a little light to how he managed to undertake this task, and what he learned from his experiences. This is a rather long post, but we learned so much and I wanted to share our findings with you all.]]> http://www.globalgirlblog.com/2009/06/42/feed/ 0
