Oxford, UK - April 2006 Oxford University World Ethics Forum
In April 2006, "Andrew was selected by the World Bank to be one of a small group of “promising young leaders” to attend the World Ethics Forum in April 2006 at Oxford University. That Forum brought together over 250 leaders, thinkers, development practitioners and youth from over 70 developed and developing countries".
Andrew had the honor to participate in the first-ever World Ethics Forum Joint Conference, “Leadership, Ethics, and Integrity in Public Life.” This joint conference hosted The International Institute for Public Ethics (IIPE), The Global Integrity Alliance, and the World Bank at Keble College, University of Oxford, UK. The purpose of this conference was to convene officials and advisors to national, sub-national and international governments, business professionals, scholars, ethics practitioners, civil society activists, academics, and public officials to reflect, facilitate and support critical thinking about the praxis of public ethics, to expose applied lessons about democratic governance processes and to help rebuild a sustainable future for an ethics culture. In the same year in 2006, Andrew was chosen as local consultant for the World Bank to help produce the World Development Report 2007 'Youth Employment and the Next Generation'.
