Kindly receive my (Sospeter Muhongo) Vision for UNESCO of the 21st Century. This is a 6-page document for dissemination (together with the attached abridged CV of 07.07.2009) to as many destinations as possible.
The shorter version, 4-page document (1,998 words) has been submitted to UNESCO.
Also..
Examples of visionary leadership and high-impact delivery:
Excellence in science, technology and innovation should be closely linked to policy-and decision making processes aiming to bring about predictable economic prosperity and sustainable development of any country. UNESCO DG candidate from Tanzania (Prof Sospeter M Muhongo) is championing this developmental paradigm in Africa (attachments).
