Financing for Development
Offered by the World Bank as an online MOOC
It is interesting to see the number of participants on this course . The list of participants appear to be quite widespread with a good proportion from the Asian and African regions. It will be interesting to see what the final world map will show when everyone has logged on and mapped themselves.

My focus is on development as a change paradigm and the means for improving life chances for people who are under resourced and under reached. Wealth is a change agent and a resource which can help enable but not meet human needs fully. Human upliftment is a more complex structure of change which has many more ingredients and is part of the greater change that society has to achieve for true development.
The world has changed, communication has improved, opportunities have blossomed and the reach of information and technology have enabled more change in the last few years than has been possible ever before. Along with it of course we have the problems that arise in every society - concentration of wealth, greater inequalities, lack of resources, polarisation of society.
This course will help inform and educate professionals and individuals to be able to work alongside the private and social sector to look at generating resources and wealth to tackle the problems that we face as a society.
The goals remain to create new linkages, ideas and opportunities for supporting global development through this massive online course which should help like minded individuals with similar goals to share ideas, thoughts, views and work on projects worldwide.
