Economic Reform Feature Service: Building Partnerships for Prosperity and Democracy
Dr. Anne-Marie Slaughter, Director of Policy Planning,
U.S. Department of State |
 On October 27, 2009, Dr. Anne-Marie Slaughter delivered the closing remarks at CIPE’s "Democracy that Delivers" conference to an audience of several hundred attendees in Washington D.C. and at CIPE’s Egypt office in Cairo. Democratic institutions, she said, require the same conditions that functioning markets do: strong stakeholders, merit-based preferences, transparency, and self-reliance. Countries that commit to deliver results are precisely those countries to stand with, support, and assist in development.

in Afghanistan
|
|
Citizenship is not innate; it needs to be taught and cultivated in young people through civic education and leadership training.
Citizenship includes both rights and responsibilities; for youth to become active citizens, they need to be given a voice in decision-making processes that affect them. In order for young people to develop a sense of citizenship, they must first realize the positive role they can play through active civic participation.
