Banking Study Tour Programe in Paris
For more than 100 years, cooperative (mutual) banks have provided affordable financial services to millions of people around the globe. They serve members of all income levels, ethnic backgrounds, political beliefs and religions, in even the most challenging environments. Whether rural or urban, located in communities struggling with political unrest or confronting economic depression, cooperative banks serve people otherwise excluded from the financial system by offering them access to high quality and affordable financial services. Cooperative banks take active part in local communities and local development with a stronger commitment and social responsibilities. This Study Tour Program in Paris would develop important partnerhip between European and African banks. The event focusing the cooperative credit concept and explaining the important role for the stability of the financial system at the regional and local levels. It is very much clear that cooperative (mutual) banks have very much importance in sustainable development. Without the help of cooperative credit, millions of people in the world would belacking the much needful financial support.
Pharmangels
Pharmangels is a greatest project for the production of galenic medicines targeted for Africa. Its purpose extends to the supply of suitable substances to African hospitals and pharmacies in order to produce suitable medicines and to implementing advanced technological methods in pharmacies and hospitals.
By 2016, pharmaceutical spending in Africa is expected to reach US$30 billion.
This value is driven by a 10.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2016,
second only to Asia Pacific (12.5%) and in line with Latin America (10.5%) during this period. Spurred by a convergence of demographic changes, increased wealth and healthcare investment, and rising demand for drugs to treat chronic diseases, this market potentially represents a US$45 billion opportunity by 2020.
The appeal of Africa lies not in its size – the continent accounts for just 3% of the global economy – but in the dynamics that drive sustainable growth at a time when the major established pharmaceutical markets face a more uncertain future. Underpinning these prospects are a series of positive economic trends: greater political and fiscal stability and improvements in pro-business legislation have led the United Nations to forecast that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Africa could more than double by 2014, despite speculative money leaving the continent following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the Arab Spring restricting investment in North Africa. This FDI is fuelling macroeconomic growth and vastly improving access to new technology. The recent boom in mobile subscribers reflects this trend: as of mid-2012, there were more than 600 million mobile subscribers on the continent, surpassing American and European figures.
At the same time, major demographic shifts show an increasing number of working-age Africans, a rising middle class which accounts for 34% of the continent’s inhabitants, and an urban population expected to exceed that of China’s and India’s by 2050.
Sustainable hospitals
The sustainable strategies help to reduce the health-care costs trough efficiencies and innovations adoption into technical, administrative, human-resources and products-services. Sustainable Hospital refers to the process of bringing any new, problem-solving idea into use as reorganizing, cutting costs, putting in new budgeting systems, developing products and technologies in teams with universities and R&D centers, etc.
The Sustainable Hospitals will soon replace the CONVENTIONAL and INEFFICIENT existent hospitals in the world.
Becoming a Sustainable Hospital is very important because attract and retain researchers and innovators, promotes the economic development, creates jobs, generates financial return, increase economic local benefits, reduces health-care costs through efficiencies, attract new technologies and new services, etc.

Poverty reduction through more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Latin America
Latin America has experienced very positive economic growth figures from 2004 to 2013. Poverty has been reduced and the middle classes have been growing in most countries. But despite these positive developments, Latin America remains the most unequal region in the world. In order to change this, Latin America needs to transform its economic structure. In a scenario of sluggish growth in countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and a certain growth deceleration in China and India, Latin America must realise growth potential beyond exports to these markets and reduce its dependence on the extraction of raw materials. The key for broadening the basis for economic growth and a successful diversification of the economy are micro, small and medium enterprises. Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are central actors in the development of the Latin American region, as they account for more than 99% of business and employ around 67% of the workforce. They are therefore crucial to job creation and production. Their contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) varies between 15 to 60%, depending if the informal sector is taken into account or not. Latin America is characterised by an enormous productivity gap between the regions, micro, small and medium sized enterprises and its large companies. According to OECD Development Centre and the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC) figures, the national productivity levels of small firms relative to large firms range from 16% to 36% in Latin America, but from 63% to 75% in Europe. Latin America's SMEs participation in global value chains and productive linkages among firms that promote innovation and competitiveness are scarce.
The global objective of the financial aid by European Union is: Poverty reduction through more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Latin America. The specific operational objective (s) of the financial aid of European Union is: Improve the productivity of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Latin America.
