4 October, 2006
In preparation for the 40th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Board of Governors in May 2007, the ADB is holding an essay competition for university students aged 18 – 29 in the region.
Students are invited to submit an essay of no more than 2,000 words on one of three broad topics:
- Do economic growth and environmental conservation go together?
- How should we develop human resources and institutions?
- What are the priorities for industry and infrastructure?
A jury of development experts will choose 25 winning essays, whose authors will be invited to Kyoto in March 2007 to participate in the week-long Asian and Pacific Youth Forum on Sustainable Development. The winning essays will also be assembled, published, and widely disseminated in order to amplify the voices of the region’s students.
For more information, including details on participating, see http://www.adb.org/AnnualMeeting/2007/Essay-Competition/.
Submissions close 31st October, 2006.
