2007 CIPE International Essay Competition Deadline: 31 May 2007 Theme: Engaging Youth in Reform
Eligibility Open to students and young professionals aged 18-30. Special weight will be given to essays submitted by citizens of non-OECD countries. Young people can be a powerful force for change!

We encourage you to get thinking, get involved, and use your own experiences to develop concrete solutions to these development issues. A $1,000 honorarium will be given for each winning essay Baca selanjutnya di http://www.milisbeasiswa.com
