The draft Los Angeles River Master Plan recently completed public comment. The draft is a very informative and accessible document, which lays out, and tries to address, some of the largest challenges facing the river.
Key issues (some included in the Master Plan, some not) that public officials and private investors should consider while finalizing this plan include:
Managing knowledge
Promoting transparency and monitoring
Addressing these challenges and mitigating negative impacts will transform the L.A. River and ensure a sustainable and just river for the coming generations.
African Youth Engaging in Peace and Security
Format
Despite challenges of unemployment, corruption, entrenched political leadership, and political violence, many African youth have found constructive avenues to promote peace, effective governance, and reform.
Africa remains the world’s youngest continent with a median age of 19.7 years. By 2050, one in three young people will live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Still, 80-90 percent of African workers are still engaged in the informal sector. Each year, 10-12 million African youth enter the labor market but only three million formal jobs are created annually. Meanwhile, nearly half of all African countries rank in the bottom quartile of Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index. These trends underscore mounting social pressures.
