Youth can Mentor fellow young People All over the World


Introduction

Youth mentoring is a powerful tool that can transcend borders and empower young people worldwide. The idea that youth can mentor their fellow peers may seem unconventional at first, as mentors are often perceived as older, more experienced individuals. However, this essay will argue that youth themselves possess unique perspectives, relatability, and expertise that make them ideal mentors for their counterparts. By exploring the global benefits and opportunities that arise from youth mentorship, we can foster a supportive environment that empowers young people to inspire and guide each other towards a brighter future.



1. Shared experiences create deeper connections

The youth experience is universal, irrespective of cultural or geographical boundaries. Young people face similar challenges, dreams, and concerns that can bring them closer together. By mentoring fellow young individuals, youths can establish deep connections based on shared experiences, leading to enhanced understanding and empathy, ultimately facilitating positive personal growth.


2. Peer-to-peer approach fosters relatability

Mentoring fellow youth eliminates hierarchical barriers, allowing for a more intimate and relatable exchange of knowledge. Young people can understand the specific challenges faced by their peers because they often face similar obstacles themselves. Hence, youth mentors are better equipped to guide their counterparts, offering advice rooted in first-hand experiences.


3. Next-gen skills and knowledge-sharing

In today's rapidly changing world, youth are at the forefront of technological advancements, social media, and environmental consciousness. They possess unique skills and knowledge that can be invaluable in mentoring fellow young individuals. By harnessing these skills, youth can inspire and guide their peers towards embracing the digital era and developing a sustainable outlook on the world.


4. Mental health support

Youth face a host of mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Becoming a mentor allows young people to provide much-needed emotional support to their peers. Given their shared experiences and understanding, youth mentors can establish a safe space for discussions, assist in developing coping mechanisms, and offer empathy to help their fellow youth navigate the challenges of mental health.


5. Building self-confidence and leadership skills

Mentoring fellow young people allows aspiring leaders to refine their own skills. By taking on a mentorship role, youth cultivate their self-confidence, communication abilities, and leadership qualities. These mentorship experiences can help them grow as individuals and gain a sense of purpose, which ultimately benefits their overall personal development.


6. Global outlook and understanding

Youth, as mentors to peers worldwide, can contribute to fostering a global perspective among future leaders. By connecting with young people from different cultural backgrounds, youth mentors can broaden their understanding of global issues and create a generation that values diversity, inclusion, and cooperative problem-solving.


7. Bridging the gap between generations

Youth mentors offer a bridge between younger generations and older adults. They can help build positive relationships and understanding between generations, bridging the gap between older adults' experiences and the evolving challenges faced by today's youth. In turn, it creates an inclusive society that benefits from intergenerational dialogue and cooperation.


8. Shaping the leaders of tomorrow

The youth currently being mentored will soon assume leadership positions in various fields. By mentoring fellow young people today, youth mentors contribute to developing more compassionate, empathetic, and responsible leaders in the future. This ripple effect ensures a positive impact on society for decades to come.


9. Diversification of perspectives

Youth mentoring fellow youth enables a diversification of perspectives. Different regions, countries, and communities have distinct issues and challenges that mentors from those areas are better equipped to address. Thus, a global network of youth mentors allows for a holistic approach to providing guidance, taking into account the unique circumstances faced by different youth populations.


10. Strengthening communities through youth empowerment

By embracing mentorship roles, youth mentors contribute to the overall development and upliftment of their communities. Empowered youth can guide their peers towards making positive choices, accessing opportunities, and charting their own paths. This collective empowerment leads to stronger communities that foster growth and prosperity for all.


Conclusion on Youth Mentorship

Youth, regardless of their geographic location or cultural background, possess the potential to mentor their fellow young people all over the world. Their shared experiences, ability to relate, unique skills, and perspectives make them ideal mentors for their peers. By embracing youth mentorship on a global scale, we can foster a supportive environment that empowers young individuals to inspire and guide each other

TAKE THE STAIRS - PANDA NGAZI



Success is never owned, it is only rented and the rent is due every day". 

Kitabu rejea;TAKE THE STAIRS (7 steps to achieving true success).By Rory Vaden.

Katika maisha yetu wanadamu kila mtu huwa anapenda kufanikiwa kwenye maeneo mbalimbali ikiwa ni kwenye biashara,taaluma,ama ujuzi alionao.Ila watu wanashindwa kufahamau njia bora za kufikia mafanikio yatakayowapa raha na furaha ya kudumu.Mafanikio yoyote yanapatikana kwa hatua na si jambo lijalo kwa ghafla tu,na tatizo linalowamaliza watu ni kuishi kwa kudhani mafanikio unaweza yafikia kwa mfano wa kupanda lift ya ghorofa na punde ukajikuta umeshafika ghorofa ya tano,lakini mafanikio hayapo hivo,mtu yeyote ukitaka kufanikiwa ni lazima upande ngazi(hatua) ili uende hatua kwa hatua,labda jiulize swali dogo tu je, upandapo lift katika ghorofa mwili wako huwa unapata faida ipi? ,hebu mtazame mtu apandae ghorofa kwa kutumia ngazi,mtu huyu hupata faida nyingi ,kwanza mwili wake unapotoa jasho huujenga na kupunguza sukari isiyotakiwa mwilini  na faida nyingine kadha wa kadha.Huu ni mfano tu wa ngazi za kupanda katika jengo,basi ndivyo yalivyo na mafanikio  ya mtu huwa yanahitaji kuyaendea kwa kufuata hatua ili uweze kuwa na uchungu nayo pale ukishayapata,jitoe mapema kwenye ESCALATOR MENTALITY ili usizidi kuupoteza muda.

Mafanikio ya mtu yeyote yanajengwa kwa mtu kuwa na nidhamu kubwa na si kwa njia za mikato kama watu wadhaniavyo.Kuwa na nidhamu binafsi (self discipline) si jambo jepesi hata kidogo,uonapo watu wamefanikiwa jua kwamba walitengeneza nidhamu zao binafsi,hawakungoja kusukumwa sukumwa katika kutenda yale wapendayo kuyatenda na ndipo walijikuta wakifika kule walipotamani kufika.Mpendwa msomaji nikuambie tu wazi,utakapo amua leo kujijengea nidhamu binafsi jua si jambo ambalo utalipata kwa wakati mfupi na pia hutalipata kwa gharama ndogo,jipange kujitoa kwelikweli ili ujijengee nidhamu binafsi katika kazi yako,biashara yako,kipaji chako n.k.

Pia watu wengi hupenda na hutamani kufikia hatua kubwa za mafanikio lakini sumu kubwa inayowamaliza ni tabia ya kupenda kuhairisha mambo.Unakuta mtu anatamani kuwa mfanyabiashara mkubwa lakini kila siku husema nitaanza kesho Mwandishi mmoja alisema "successful people form the habit of doing things that failures don't like doing".Na hivi ndivyo watu wakubwa wanavyofanikiwa ni kwa sababu hawaghairishi mambo na nidhamu zao za hali ya juu ndizo zinazowasaidia kuviishi  viapo vyao.

Lakini pia watu hudhani watu waliofanikiwa walikutana utajiri wa kifedha,kuwa na biashara kubwa,ama ubobezi katika fani fulani kwa siku moja,lakini si kweli,ukirudi na kufuatilia watu wote waliofanikiwa walipita maisha ya kufanya mambo madogo madogo yaliyo na tija katika maisha yao na baadaye wakajikuta yakiwaletea matokeo makubwa(small choices yield big results),anza kujijengea nidhamu katika mambo madogo madogo nawe utajishuhudia ukipiga hatua siku baada ya siku.

Ukiwa na nidhamu maishani utaishi maisha unayoyapenda ikiwa ni katika biashara yako,katika kazi yako au ujuzi wako na maisha hayo ya furaha hayatakuwa ya muda bali  yatakuwa ni ya kudumu maishani mwako,kumbuka kuwa mafanikio hayana umiliki wa kudumu ni kama kitu kilichokodishwa tu na gharama yake ya kulipia ni nidhamu.Ikiwa unataka uwe na afya bora lazima uwe na nidhamu katika ulaji wako,ukiwa unataka mafanikio ya kibiashara ni lazima uwe na nidhamu katika biashara yako,ukiwa unataka ndoa yako iwe yenye furaha lazima uwe na nidhamu katika ndoa yako n.k.

Nenda kafanyie kazi haya machache niliyokushirisha ukilianza vyema juma hili la 41 katika mwaka wetu 2018,na nitaendelea kukushirikisha hatua 7 saba muhimu za kufikia mafanikio yoyote makubwa,njia hizi amezielezea vyema mwandishi Rory Vaden.Nikutakie heri wewe unaeenda kuchukua hatua ya kuyafanyia kazi yale ambayo umejifunza.

WHO WILL CRY WHEN YOU DIE? - NANI ATALIA UTAKAPOKUFA?



Tafakuri ya leo; Uchambuzi wa kitabu kiitwacho WHO WILL CRY WHEN YOU DIE Na Robin Sharma.

Habari mpendwa msomaji wa makala hizi naamini unaendelea vyema na majukumu yako ya kila siku,basi leo nimetamani tupate muendelezo na tuendelee kujifunza katika mambo mazuri ambayo mwandishi Robin Sharma ametushirikisha katika kitabu chake cha Who will cry when you die.Kwenye makala iliyopita tulipata kuona mambo tisa kati ya 101 basi leo tuendelee kujifunza mambo mengine machache ambayo tukiyatenda hakika itakuwa ni faida kwetu na kwa vizazi vijavyo.

Jambo la kwanza ni kuishi kinyenyekevu(be humble),mtu yeyote aishiye maisha ya unyenyekevu kwanza kabisa huwa tayari kujifunza kwa wengine lakini pia hujijengea mahusiano bora na watu wanaomzunguka na jamii kwa ujumla,hivyo unyenyekevu ni silaha kubwa sana ya kuishi nayo,jamii itakuwa ikijifunza kwako na itamani kuendelea kuwa na wewe na hata siku ukifa itakukumbuka na kukulilia sana.

Jitoe kubeba hatari kubwa(risks).Siku zote mtu aliyeradhi kubeba hatari kubwa huwa ndiye anayepata matokeo makubwa,hivyo basi usiwe muoga kubeba hatari kubwa katika maisha yako binafsi,jamii na hata kwa taifa kwa ujumla.

Acha kuwa na hofu na vitu ambavyo huna uwezo wa kuvibadilisha.Hii pia ni moja ya changamoto kubwa sana watu wanayokutana nayo katika maisha yao ya kila siku,unakuta mtu anawaza mambo makubwa na ya hatari ambayo hayawezi kutokea ama hana uwezo nao wa kuyabadilisha,ndugu yangu acha kuwaza vitu vilivyo nje ya uwezo wako,maana hatari yake ni kuwa utajikuta ukipoteza nishati nyingi huku ukipata matokeo kidogo na hii ni hasara.

Penda kazi yako.Kuna msemo unasema "kazi mbaya ukiwa nayo",hii huonyesha ni jinsi gani watu hudharau kazi zao pindi pale wanapokuwa wakizifanya na kujiona kama wao ni watu duni tofauti na wengine,lakini dhana hii ni potofu,unachotakiwa ni kuipenda kazi yako hata kama ni ndogo kiasi gani au wewe unaiona ni dunia kiasi gani utakapoipenda kazi yako utaifanya kwa ufanisi na hata wale uwapao huduma yako watavutiwa sana na watakukumbuka sana hata siku ukiwa haupo tena duniani.

Pia tuwapo katika shughuli zetu za kazi baada ya kumaliza wakati mwingine hujikuta tukiwa tumechoka na wenye mawazo mengi sana,lakini unachotakiwa kufanya ni kutafuta namna ya kuondoa hayo mawazo ya kazi kabla haujafika kwenye mlango wa nyumbani,kumbuka kwamba na familia nayo inatamani uwepo wako hivyo unapofika huku ukiwa na mawazo hutakuwa na uwezo wa kushirikiana vyema na familia yako na hii hupelekea kupunguza mahusiano mazuri na familia yako.Unaweza sikiliza miziki tulivu hii itakusaidia kukuweka sawa kiakili kabla hujafika nyumbani.

Kusanya nukuu(Quotes) zote uzipendazo.Nukuu za watu wakubwa ama wabobezi wa jambo fulani ni moja kati ya vitu muhimu sana vinavyozidisha hamasa(inspiration) kwa mtu mwingine kutenda jambo kama hilo.Kusanya nukuu uzipendazo zitakusaidia kukupa msukumo wa kufanya mambo makubwa.

Andika tena historia ya maisha yako.Uandishi wa historia za maisha yetu ni jambo muhimu sana japo si wengi wenye utamaduni wa kufanya hivyo,wengi huupuuzia tu na kuona kuwa hamna haja ya kufanya hivyo,lakini wakiwa hawajui kuwa wanapoteza kitu kikubwa sana.Unapoandika historia ya maisha yako husaidia kujitathimini kwa siku za mbeleni kuwa wapi ulipotoka na wapi ulipo sasa,lakini pia kuacha historia yako siku ukifa ni alama pia.

Piga picha nyingi kadiri uwezavyo.Katika jambo jingine muhimu sana japo laonekana kama ni la kawaida kawaida ni hili la upigaji wa picha.Picha zina faida nyingi kwanza ni kumbukumbuku,lakini pia hukuonyesha taswira halisi ya maisha yako wapi ulipokuwa na wapi ulipo sasa,siku ukifa watu watazitazama picha zako na kuendelea kukukumbuka daima,anza leo kupiga picha na uziweke kwenye kumbukumbu nzuri ikiwa ni kwenye nakala tete(soft copy) au hata kwenye nakala ngumu(hard kopi).

Wenye hekima wakubwa walioishi miaka ya zamani walisema; ukitaka kuishi maisha ya kikamilifu fanya vitu vitatu kabla hujafikwa na umauti,vitu hivyo ni,ZAA MTOTO,PANDA MTI na ANDIKA KITABU,hivi vitu vitatu si lazima uvifanye vyote japo ukiweza kuvitenda vyote ni heri.Ukifanikiwa kuwa navyo vitu hivi huwa ni urithi mkubwa utakaokuja kuuacha duniani,hata siku ukifa lakini hazina hii itaishi kwa miaka mingi sana.

Mwisho kabisa Ishi maisha ya kikamilifu ili uje kufa ukiwa mtu mwenye furaha.Hapa lipo somo kubwa sana watu wamekuwa wakiishi mambo ambayo sio kusudio lao waliloitiwa duniani,unakuta mtu anasoma uhasibu kwa sababu familia yao nzima ni wahasibu lakini yeye fani hiyo haikiwa wito wake, na hii hupelekea watu kuishi maisha yenye huzuni na mateso makubwa,inachotakiwa ni mtu uishi kikamilifu katika lile kusudio lako uliloitiwa hii itakufanya uishi kwa amani na hata siku ukifa utakufa ukiwa na furaha.

Haya ni machache niliyotamani nikushirikishe mpenzi msomaji,utakapopata wasaa wa kukisoma kitabu hiki hakika utajifunza mengi zaidi.Ruhusa kuwashirikisha na wengine tunaoona wana kiu ya kupata maarifa na kama utakuwa unahitaji kitabu hiki utanipata kwa barua pepe na namba za simu nitakazo kuachia.Nikutakie heri sana wewe unaenda kuchukua hatua ya kufanyia kazi.

SI MJAMAA, SI BEPARI JE, VIWANDANI TWAENDAJE?


Kila nchi huongozwa na falsafa fulani ili kufikia malengo iliyojiwekea. Tanzania ina dira ya miaka 25 kupitia maono yake ambapo nchi inajielekeza kwenye kundi la nchi zenye uchumi wa kati. Ili kufikia uchumi huo wa kati Tanzania imejiwekea mikakati kadhaa; mmoja kati ya mingi iliyopo ni ule wa ushirikiano baina ya serikali na sekta binafsi. Mwongozo unasema sekta binafsi ndiyo hasa itachukua nafasi kubwa katika kujenga uchumi wa kati; hayo yanapatikana katika Tanzania Development Vision  (TDV) 2025. Naam ni jambo muhimu kwa serikali kushirikiana na sekta binafsi kwani inafaa kuweka nguvu kubwa zaidi ili wananchi wengi waingie katika kundi hili kuzalisha ajira nyingi zaidi.

Hata hivyo ukisoma katiba ya nchi yetu ya mwaka 1977, 3.-(1) inasema nchi yetu ni Jamhuri ya Muungano na ni nchi ya kidemokrasia na ya kijamaa....,. Katiba katika nchi ndiyo hasa sheria kuu kuliko zote. Sasa basi kwa mantiki hiyo Tanzania ni nchi ya kijamaa! Je, kweli Tanzania kwa matendo yake, kwa jinsi inavyofanya mambo yake, kwa jinsi viongozi wake wanavyoishi na kutenda, ni nchi ya kijamaa kweli?

Swali hili na mengi mengine yanajadiliwa kwa undani ndani ya THE HIDDEN WEALTH OF TANZANIA. Kitabu kimeandikwa kwa lungha ya Kiingereza. Hata hivyo kimeandikwa kwa Kiingereza chepesi ambacho kijana aliyemaliza kidato cha nne atamudu kukielewa vyema kabisa. Kitabu kwa kiasi kikubwa kinawalenga wanavyuo, wakufunzi, wanataaluma na mtu yeyote anayependa kujua vyema mambo anuwai juu ya Tanzania. Kitabu hiki kinalenga hasa kuibua mijadala kutokana na hoja zilizomo ndani yake. 

Kwa sasa kitabu hiki kinapatikana katika maduka mbalimbali yaliyopo mitandaoni na pia katika mtandao wa Amazon. Hapo baadaye tutafanya utaratibu kuleta nakala hizo hapa nyumbani Tanzania.

AZIMIO LA ARUSHA LINAPOFIKISHA MIAKA 50 : NINI KILISABABISHA KUZALIWA KWAKE?


Hivi leo Azimio la Arusha (AA) limefikisha miaka 50 ama nusu karne tangu kutangazwa kwake.... Tarehe 05.02.1977 ambayo ni miaka hamsini ama nusu karne iliyopita, lilitolewa tamko ama tangazo la kihistoria katika mji wa Arusha. Azimio hilo linaendelea kujulikana kama Azimio la Arusha hata hivi leo.



Lengo la Azimio la Arusha
Kimsingi lilikuwa ni kuboresha maisha ya Watanganyika wanyonge. Azimio la Arusha lililenga kuboresha nyanja zote za maisha ya wananchi wa kawaida lakini hasa ililenga kuboresha nguvu yao kiuchumi na kisiasa. 

Tanganyika ilijipatia uhuru wake wa kisiasa 09.12.1961 bila kufahamu kuwa uhuru wa kiuchumi uliendelea kuwa mikononi mwa wakoloni. Tanganyika ilirithi uchumi wa kibepari, tena ubapari wa kikoloni. Kwa mantiki hiyo utaona kuwa "sisi" tulikuwa na uhuru kisiasa ilihali "wao" walikuwa na uhuru wa kiuchumi.

Uchumi huo wa kibepari wa kikoloni ambao ulikuwa ukiongozwa kwa sheria za soko, ulikuwa kandamizi kwa wananchi wa kawaida. Wananchi waliofanya kazi kwa matajiri wa kigeni na kupangiwa mishahara kwa matakwa ya matajiri hao kabla ya uhuru waliendelea kufanya kazi kwa namna ile ile kama walivyofanya hata kabla ya uhuru wa kisiasa. Wakulima hali kadhalika walijikuta katika mazingira yale yale wakiuza mazao yao kwa mabwana wale wale na kwa bei zile zile za kabla ya uhuru.

Kutoka na uchumi ule wa kibepari, serikali haikuwa na uwezo wa kuingilia masuala ya uchumi huo na hivyo haikuwa rahisi kuwawezesha wananchi kuonja ama kushiriki katika furaha ya matunda ya uhuru. Hivyo basi kama ilitakiwa wananchi waonje ladha ya matunda ya uhuru wao basi ilikuwa lazima kwa TANU kudai ama kuchukua pia uhuru wa kiuchumi na mabadiliko hayo yalikuwa lazima.

Ili kusikiliza kusikiliza wananchi na kuhakikisha kuwa wanahisi faida za uhuru katika nchi yao, ndipo hapo chama cha Tanganyika African National Union kilipofanya maamuzi ya kihistoria.

Chama cha TANU kilitangaza za na historia mpya kabisa katika taifa changa la Tanganyika. Mnamo tarehe tano Februari mwaka elfu moja mia tisa sitini na saba pale mjini Arusha chama kilitangaza rasmi kuwa kuanzia siku hiyo nchi ya Tanganyika ilikuwa inaanza na inaingia katika siasa za ujamaa na kujitegemea.

Siasa ya ujamaa na kujitegemea ilijengwa juu ya nguzo mbili za (i) Utaifishaji wa njia zote kuu za uzalishaji mali na (ii) Vijiji vya ujamaa na kujitegemea kama nguzo muhimu kufikisha maendeleo kwa wananchi wengi.

TANZANIA ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD... SO LOVELY INDEED!

Tanzania
Tanzania is the Land of the Serengeti, Lake Victoria, Lake Natron and Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, the Spice Islands, Dar Es Salaam and a million more, Tanzania is almost beyond belief.
Mount Kilimanjaro rises over 3 miles above the surrounding plains, making it one of the world’s two mountains with greatest vertical relief, together with our own McKinley. It is also the largest free standing mountain in the world.
Birthplace of Freddie Mercury, the country is one of the very best wildlife destinations on earth. During the great migrations between Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti, which means ‘Endless Plains’, the largest migration of mammals in the world takes place. This spectacle sees millions of animals moving in search of better grazing and prey, and has been called the greatest sight on Earth. In February alone, an estimated 500,000 wildeest calves are born on the planes! 
The immense flamingo flocks that dominate Lake Manyara and Lake Natron are breathtaking, and this is made all the more stunning by the fact that Natron itself is a vivid pink color due to its chemical content. Tanzania is almost too beautiful to believe.

INNOVATION IS THE MOTHER OF DEVELOPMENT: UVUMBUZI NI MAMA WA MAENDELEO TANZANIA TUPO WAPI?


Uvumbuzi huendana na ubunifu. Kila mvumbuzi ni mbunifu. Ripoti ya dunia inaonyesha kuwa nchi zenye uwezo mkubwa kutumia uvumbuzi ama kuuzalisha zinaendelea vyema zaidi kiuchumi kwa kuwa uvumbuzi ni kichocheo muhimu cha maendeleo.
Ripoti ya uvumbuzi duniani inaonyesha kuwa nchi za Afrika zipo mbali mno kwenye orodha hiyo, japokuwa Kenya, Rwanda, na Madagascar zimetajwa kama nchi zenye kuibukia kwenye uvumbuzi. Tanzania haitajwi katika kundi la nchi zinazoibukia katika kundi hilo na wakati huohuo tunataka kuingia uchumi wa kati. Kuingia uchumi wa kati inawezekana; hakuna jambo lolote lenyekufuata kanuni za kimantiki lisilowezekana hapa duniani. Hivyo Tanzania inaweza kuingia uchumi wa kati ifikapo 2025, hata hivyo ili jambo hilo liwezekane basi tunalazimika kufanya mambo mengi kuboresha mambo mengi yenye kuendesha uchumi wa nchi. 
Lazima tubadilishe mfumo wetu wa elimu ili elimu hiyo iwajengee watoto wetu uwezo mkubwa wa kufikiria, kutafakari mambo kwa kina na kutatua matatizo ya jamii. Elimu yetu iondokane kwenye kasumba tu ya cheti; tuwapime wahitimu wetu kwa uwezo wao kutatua matatizo ya jamii.

Tunalazimika kuboresha kwa kina hasa maisha na huduma mbalimbali za kijamii za watu wanaoishi vijijini; umasikini mkubwa Tanzania upo vijijini. Maisha vijijini hutegemea zaidi kilimo, kwahiyo basi tunalazimika kukiboresha kwa juhudi kubwa kilimo chetu. Kilimo kiongezewe thamani kwa kuanzisha viwanda vidogo vidogo vya kusindika mazao hayo. 

Yanaweza kufanyika mengi haya ni kwa uchache tu. Tukiboresha elimu na kuweza kuchochea uwezo wa fikra za watu wetu hapo tutakuwa tumefanikiwa....

Soma sasa kwa Kiingereza ripoti ya uvumbuzi duniani: 

Switzerland has held onto its title as the world’s most innovative economy in the latest Global Innovation Index.
The 2016 index, produced by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Cornell University and INSEAD, assesses the innovation performance of 128 global economies. This year is notable for China’s breakthrough into the top 25. It marks the first time a middle-income country has taken a place among highly-developed economies in the survey’s 9-year history.

The top 10



 These are the world's most innovative countries

Switzerland claims the top spot as the world’s most innovative economy – a position it has held for six years. The European nation scores highly on a range of indices, from government effectiveness to business sophistication, and creative goods and services.
Sweden climbs one place to take second, swapping places with the United Kingdom. It scored highly on infrastructure, human capital and research.
An all-European top 3 is completed by the United Kingdom. Like Sweden, it scored highly for infrastructure, as well as market sophistication and creative outputs.

The rise of China

For the first time since the index started, China takes a place in the top 25, rising from 29th last year.
The report attributes this to improved performance, as well as methodological changes in the index. However, the authors highlight the continuing “innovation divide” between the developed and developing world. The majority of innovative activity is concentrated in high-income economies and a few middle-income economies, including China, India and South Africa.

However, there is good news, with several African economies named “innovation achievers”. They include countries like Kenya, Madagascar and Rwanda, and were found to perform at least “10% higher than their peers for their level of GDP”.

The importance of innovation

Innovation remains a key driver of economic growth, as highlighted by both the Global Innovation Index and the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report.
Innovation is one of the 12 pillars of competitiveness in the Forum’s report, and it looks set to play an ever more important role, says Margareta Drzeniek Hanouz, one of the economists behind the report.
“In the future, a country’s socio-economic progress will be increasingly determined by its ability to innovate and adapt quickly to new environments. Scientific and technological research and development, creativity, new business ideas and the ability to implement new business models will also increasingly determine a country’s success.”

Elie Wiesel, Dies at 87

Elie Wiesel, the prolific Nobel Peace Prize laureate whose memoir about surviving Nazi concentration camps was one of the most poignant accounts of the Holocaust, has died. He was 87.
Wiesel's son, Elisha Wiesel, told NBC News on Saturday that the author had died, and said the family is observing Shabbat and has requested privacy at the moment.
Wiesel was born in 1928 in Romania. At the age of 15 he was deported to Auschwitz with his family, where his mother and sister died. Wiesel and his father were later taken to Buchenwald. His sick and malnourished father died there following a beating from a German soldier. Wiesel chronicled the experience in his acclaimed 1955 autobiography, "Night."
The atrocities he witnessed fueled Wiesel to combat inhumanity around the world, including in the former Yugoslavia and in Darfur — efforts that in 1986, earned him a Nobel Peace Prize.
"We must speak, we must take sides, for neutrality helps the oppressor — never the victim," he said upon receiving the prize.
The prize's citation referred to him as "a messenger to mankind."
"My father raised his voice to presidents and prime ministers when he felt issues on the world stage demanded action," Elisha Wiesel said in a statement released later Saturday. "But those who knew him in private life had the pleasure of experiencing a gentle and devout man who was always interested in others, and whose quiet voice moved them to better themselves."
"I will hear that voice for the rest of my life, and hope and pray that I will continue to earn the unconditional love and trust he always showed me," Elisha Wiesel said.
Tributes for Wiesel immediately started pouring in Saturday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling him a "beacon of light to the humanity of people who believed in the good of everyone."
President Barack Obama said, "Elie Wiesel was one of the great moral voices of our time, and in many ways, the conscience of the world."
The World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder said in a statement that Wiesel "was more than a revered writer. He was also a teacher for many of us. He taught us about the horrors of Auschwitz. He taught us about Judaism, about Israel, and about not being silent in the face of injustice."
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, who a few months ago gave Wiesel the medal of Honorary Citizen of Jerusalem, said of the author: "Instead of giving in to despair, the face of evil and cruelty that at the time was the darkest of humanity, he carried all the way through the message of tolerance and peace for all peoples of the world."
Following the war, Wiesel was sent to a French orphanage, where he was reunited with his older sisters, Beatrice and Hilda. He first took up writing in his 20s, when he became a journalist for French and Israeli publications.
Despite later becoming a ubiquitous, first-hand account of surviving the Holocaust, "Night" sold under 2,000 copies in the United States in the first 18 months after it was published.
It has now sold more than 6 million copies, according to Israeli newspaperHaaretz, which first reported Wiesel's death.
Wiesel originally wrote "Night" in French and had it translated into English. The book was standard reading material in schools around the world and enjoyed renewed popularity when Oprah Winfrey chose a new translation of "Night" by Wiesel's wife, Austrian Holocaust survivor Marion Rose, for her book club in 2006.
Wiesel and Marion married in Jerusalem in 1969. She also translated his future books, including "Dawn" and "Day," which completed his trilogy series on the Holocaust. In all, he wrote more than 50 works of fiction and nonfiction.
Wiesel met his wife in New York, where he had moved to in 1955. Over the years, he became a vocal activist, earning him the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in addition to the Nobel Peace Prize for speaking out against discrimination and racism.
Marion Wiesel said in a statement Saturday: "My husband was a fighter. He fought for the memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, and he fought for Israel. He waged countless battles for innocent victims regardless of ethnicity or creed."
"But what was most meaningful to him was teaching the innumerable students who attended his university classes," she said. "We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support we have already seen in the wake of his passing."
Wiesel became an outspoken advocate of education on the Holocaust when President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the Presidential Commission on the Holocaust in 1978. In that role, he helped create the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
A quote from Wiesel — "for the dead and the living, we must bear witness" — is displayed at the museum's entrance.
Wiesel didn't shy away from his past. In 2006, he went to Auschwitz with Winfrey, and in 2009, Wiesel went with President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to a trip to the Buchenwald concentration camp.
His faith never wavered. At the Holocaust Days of Remembrance Ceremony in April 2009, standing alongside Obama in the Capitol Rotunda, Wiesel said, "I belong to a traumatized generation that felt abandoned by God and betrayed by mankind. And yet, I believe that one must not estrange from God or mankind.
Later in life, he made news for another reason: He was one of the victims of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. His foundation, the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, lost more than $15 million it had invested with Madoff, and he and his wife lost savings.
When asked to describe Madoff, Wiesel told The New York Times, "Psychopath — it's too nice a word for him."
Obama said that he first came to know Wiesel through his account of the Holocaust, but "I was also honored and deeply humbled to call him a dear friend." The president recalled visiting Buchenwald with Wiesel, where the author was held as a teenager.
"At the end of our visit to Buchenwald, Elie said that after all that he and the other survivors had endured, 'we had the right to give up on humanity,'" Obama said. "But he said, 'we rejected that possibility ... we said, no, we must continue believing in a future.'"
"Tonight, we give thanks that Elie never gave up on humanity and on the progress that is possible when we treat one another with dignity and respect," Obama said.
