Perspective on where the capital can come from. How we can attract more and way of foreign direct investment. Statesrole out of the. Thank you. Ago, if we try to put into a room people and try to talk about africa, the conversation would be very different. Today, we are talking up about returns. I think its great. I can only tell you that for coming next six years, you can imagine what that will mean for the capital. That is the manner in which we looking atto start the continent of africa. On a longterm basis, what it can be able to give. Investing in hard assets, like infrastructure him a which contributes results to gdp. The truth is that the whole ispetitive of the continent dependent on improving the infrastructure. That. The challenge is finding camp until capital. In what are an initial struggles were very much focused on whereby we couldnt get capital to commit to longterm funds. Airport, projects, with money that has to be out in five or six years of the economy. Therefore, i think initially those Smart Capital funding of the continent, which are initial investors, be sure we can establish interest in their fund on the continent. To enable that type of investment to take place. That is proving itself. Life,we can talk about the testament that this is happening. There is still a lot of capital needed to develop the confidence infrastructure, but every sort of like few years it gets better and better. Realizing is now it has been proving improving. There is still very much a need. Initially, we had to Pension Funds supporting which was like fund andthe Government Pension Fund and ghana. Today, you know looking at investing in infrastructure, we have seen reform with Pension Funds in nigeria starting to invest in the infrastructure. I think it bodes very well for the continent. Those Pension Funds are not doing that because they just are, but also for returns. They have tensioners that they have to look after. Therefore, they have to do it for the return. They are getting both benefits out of it. Thank you. [applause] we have just a few minutes left. I wanted to spend the time that remains on a theme that everybody has touched on. Africas Human Capital. What some microsoft infrastructure. Without that, Everything Else is secondary. Africas potential is limitless. Each of you in your own ways have not only emphasize that, but invested in real terms to develop that Human Capital. I would like to invite your thoughts and comments on ways United States both private and secular government might take our partnership to develop africa to another level. I would like to hear from colleagues in africa what is our value added. How can we support africas development of its own Human Capital in an optimal way . How can we help in the creation of jobs for young people that will be skilled jobs in the future . Thank you. Dr. Jim kamm used an interesting expression when he spoke of shared prosperity. Even as we talk of infrastructure, it is important for us to keep in mind that they are still millions of african children going to bed tonight without a light. Even to read. There are simple things that we can do, such as providing solar lighting so that children can read at night. There are simple things we can because a lot of our villages will not receive the power from these big power stations. To have a big power line go over your village, and because you build 5000 megawatts for the city, when we can also look at how we can use solar power to build many grids so that children can have access to those simple things. These are things that we can do today. And useemove tariffs things like solar lanterns. Things, and ile would like to urge governments because the private sector can do such things today. Education is the key. We have got to get kids into school. And to the extent that even the private sector go into these countries, we must bear in mind that that is a piece of our investment. It is not so much about your own worthiness, what can you do to get kids into school, even if you are dont need them as employees. Thank you. I wanted to add that i think this is a the opportunity of one of these ideas that would be a leapfrog that could not only solve the big issue in africa, but other parts of the world. And number of students to be educated is a large, i think working together, this grand challenge of taking what you might call massive online open education to an entirely different level of joint public private. We started some work on this. If you can understand the child context, the way they learn, the behavior of their learning, you can really break through electronically with them on a dole that you could not otherwise with teachers across the continent. This idea that we could have a great breakthrough on the grand challenge of elearning, coming out of africa, i think it is really quite real on the basis of it publicprivate partnerships to advance that. I think to use the issues of a global phenomenon. , from an african point of view, what sort of smart partnerships and investments and social infrastructure, particular education. What is the partnership with the private sector . There will will out and enable the growth of the education sector. I think the new economy that is what is needed. Now,ublic spheres we have but the need to be able to be a competitor. Ofis going to need that type innovation that we put in place. Aspect that i think we in business can help with is the confidence of youth in africa. That is an important thing. Africa was not generally associated with positive things, war, strike, conflict. Today, there is confidence coming to the youth. What is the brand . Brand is a promise that as well cap. A good brand is a promise that as well cap. T. Kep wiki needed a we communicated reasons to believe in africa. We ran that 62nd piece of communication across every nation. It produced enormous results when we looked at how we connected with people. You can actually go to your to and look for believe in africa and see that 60 second piece. That are the those are the kind of things that africa needs now. They need a year that believes in itself, and believe that they can really make a difference, a positive difference come in this world that we live in today. I believe they will. A great place to and. I want to thank each of our andlists for participating offering her wisdom and insight. More than that, i want to thank you for all youre doing with and for the United States in our partnership and helping us take it to a new level of is that when we look back 10 years from now we will see it as a true Inflection Point in our collaboration and Partnership Based on mutual interests and respect.

The National Association of latino elected and appointed officials have the discussion about the effect of the latino vote in the term election very speakers included the heads of the latina victory fund and the hispanic libra initiative. This is one hour. It is an exciting year politically as well. As you all know, in 131 days we will be on election day come in terms the midterm election. We would like to start up a Conference Today and talk and put this in a political context as to how we expect the latino vote and candidates to do in the midterm elections. It is one of the major themes of the conference, some of the other major themes we will be working on. The elections are top of mind at the moment. 2014, letsbout make sure we put this in context about 2010. When we compare elections, it is only fair to compare a midterm to a midterm. Lets not forget what happened in 2010 midterm elections. The latino vote had a decisive impact. The democrats would only were in control of the senate today because of the elections of these two senators. Michael bennet of colorado and harry reid of nevada. Latino vote was decisive in senator harry reid Election Campaign and senator bennett being elected for the first time. 6. 6 million latinos voted in the election. Important in the 2010 election was a real significant milestone that was achieved by latinos in the Republican Party. Marco rubio was elected to the United States senate. The first latina government of any state was erected and 2010 in new mexico. The first latino governor of nevada. The number of you latinos in as u. S. Representative double. Although it is not an election we should compare the midterm elections to, lets not forget the decisive impact latinos had in 2012. 11. 2 million latinos went to the polls. ,. 4 of the nations electorate 5 increase over 2000 and eight 2008. The latinos had a major impact in some of the decisive campaigns in swing states. 2014, letsowards look at how the latino vote is continuing to increase. We are making strides. If you look at what follows the trajectory of them the cano vote in midterm elections from 1994 to 2010, we see that in every single election cycle there has been a steady increase in the number of latino voters. That is the blue line. Attracts very closely to the green line, the number of latino registered voters. Lets keep our eye on that redline. That line is the number of latinos who are eligible to vote. The truth is that that population continues to grow faster than the population of latinos who actually vote. The challenge before us is to make sure that we engage latinos as they enter the electorate. 60,000 latinosar turn 18 years of age. The are u. S. Citizens. 2000 latinosday become eligible to vote in this country. We have an opportunity. In terms of how many show up to , a polls this november projection was released where it is expected that set of 7. 8 million latinos will vote in november. That is an 18 increase over the 2010 numbers. We will make up 7. 8 of the National Share of all voters. Strides. Are making the latino vote is growing. ll be honest with you it is not growing fast enough. We willext three days be talking a little bit more about what were doing to make sure that we engage the latino numbers,e, grow our and part of the conversations we will be about other initiatives that are being undertaken to offering additional latino electorate. Placing this in context, there are some political factors that will shape the latino vote. It will shape whether latinos are mobilized, how they vote, and the choices they make. Immigration reform is top of the minds on everybody in this room. Also to latinos across the country. Traditionally and historically, Immigration Reform has not been the number one issue for latino voters. In many respects, that makes sense. If you are a voter, you are a citizen. Youre born here or you are a naturalized citizen. You dont have a personal immigration issue to resolve. As the issue has continued to be part of the Public Discourse since 2000, and as more and more latino citizens know personally a latino who is undocumented, the importance of this issue has increased. We will have one of our panelists discuss this. Immigration itself has risen to the top of the issues that latino voters care about in elections. One of the questions will be what does it mean that Immigration Reform has not yet passed both houses of congress . What will it mean in 2014 . We will be talking about that. Some other things that will be affecting the latino vote include the situation and the condition of federal Voting Rights act. The Voting Rights act has been a powerful tool since 1965 to make sure that every single american citizen is able to vote free of discrimination. Last year, the United States sectioncourt declared four unconstitutional, meaning that section five, which required preclearance of any change of election practices by formulates, that that determining who was subject was unconstitutional. Decision,t of the texas, alabama, mississippi have that haveter id laws a discriminatory impact on latinos, africanamericans, and others. Are two other states that are trying to strengthen the citizenshipmpose requirements and voter registration. The environment itself is becoming more challenging area challenging. To ensure that latinos can vote, arm automated vote, a little bit about what is happening in terms of candidates in 2014. We expect that two of the latino governors who were elected in 2010 have excellent opportunity to be reelected in 2014. Theyre running strong campaigns for reelection. Something is happening in new england. Ofrhode island, the mayor providence is a dominican american and running a competitive campaign. That primary will be september 9. There are also a number of latinos resting that running for the number two offices in their state. Joe garcia and colorado is a reelection. Wass lopez concetta appointed in 2014, and is now running on a ticket with governor scott. She will be with us later at this conference. Lucy florez is running interstate. John sanchez is running for election in new mexico. Some exciting and interesting races for the number two spots in states across the country. Other significant statewide contest will be in november, and padilla. Lex [applause] he is running for california secretary of state. He was a top vote getter in californias primary. That is much as i am going to say about his election. [laughter] another thing that is happening in rhode island, is the competition for secretary of state. We hope that she makes it. In terms of attorney general there is one in utah. A former member of the educational fund, running for attorney general in new mexico. Interesting and fascinating races that we are following closely. , stateey statewide races auditor new mexico. State treasurer new mexico. And George P Bush continuing the legacy running for texas land commissioner. There is the entire house of representatives up for reelection. We expect the vast majority majority to be reelected. There are some very close races that are in this election throughout the country. California, there is an opportunity for reelection. Garcia, who also ran and was , versus beenorida a democrat to be elected to congress in florida, is running against a competitive field of republicans. That primary is august 26. We will see who will be challenging him and what is expected to be a very competitive race. Texas the districts in has changed hands between Political Parties several times in the past decade. It is currently being held by a democrat. He will be facing a Business Consultant and the 23rd district. That is another district that both parties are investing tremendous resources and. Here in california, 21st , theret, Central Valley is another race that is being closely watched why Political Parties in terms of the swing nature of these districts. Continuehat we want to latinorow groep elected facials. These are the numbers that we are publishing here in 2014. This is our record for the record on the number of latinos who served in elected office as of january 1, 2014. Weve gone from no u. S. Senators to three. Congress members of and 22 to 28. The increase has been 25 in the number of latinos in elected office. To over 600000 latinos serving in elected office across the country today. That is a little bit about where we are in terms of the number of latinos we expected turnout for the elections. The impact we had in 2010 and 2012. Now to talk about the impact in the political contests of 2014, i will invite my guests and panelists to put all this in context and expand the us what they are doing to make a difference. As i introduce them, join me. Aniel garza he began his career as a Congressional Staff assistant. After serving several years as an elected official himself in , he worked for the george w. Bush administration. It explains also crosses into the private sector. Today he serves as assistant director of the libra initiative.
