 Go to the Center for Global Development A number of think-tanks and related organizations have sprung up in
recent years with the intent of researching various development
initiatives around the world. Founded in 2001, the Center for Global
Development is just such an organization, and they are primarily
concerned with offering “….practical, creative solutions to the
challenges that global interdependence poses to the developing
countries, starting with debt.” So far, they have assembled an
impressive list of research fellows and partners, a fact that is
apparent upon visiting their homepage. Visitors would do well to start
by looking through their “Initiatives” area, which offers brief
introduction to their primary thematic areas of interest, which include
debt relief and population dynamics. Along with this area, a nice
complement is the section dedicated to providing access to their
publications, which include working papers on infrastructure
development in Africa and corruption and governance
in public health care systems. Rounding out the site are areas where
visitors can sign up to receive email updates and sections dedicated to
their in-house blogs.

Thoughts
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.~Calvin Coolidge~
