Solution Thinking  moladi Solution Thinking The status quo is not working for billions of poor or vulnerable people around the world. The world today is grappling with enormous social, economic, and environmental challenges. Organizations across sectors - public, non-profit, multilateral, and private - are working to address issues ranging from poverty and malnutrition to social inequality and climate change. Yet social problems remain on a massive scale, particularly for the four billion around the world with incomes well below the Western poverty line.   The challenges facing poor or vulnerable populations require innovative, sustainable, and large-scale solutions.   Companies create shared value in three ways: By reconceiving products and markets, or improving access to products and services that meet pressing societal needs and thereby create new market and revenue opportunities By enhancing productivity in the value chain, or improving company operations to enhance quali...

Rural Development - The need for Rural Developers One of the biggest and most crucial issue facing the African Continent is that of urbanisation. Daily people leave their rural villages lured by the prospects of a better life in the city. Yet, this does not happen and more and more cities and city dwellers are struggling under the pressures of "City Living". "Work" to provide "Food" and "Shelter" - this is the basis of survival. If there is no "work" "crime" is one of the next options. Urbanization in Africa - Rural to Urban Africa is a rapidly urbanising continent, which according to the UN Habitat, is increasing at a rate of 230,000 people who are moving into cities across Africa each week. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa alone has an estimated housing deficit of 30 million units and every year, the backlog of houses across Africa’s 54 countries collectively increases by 4 million houses. With the population of the African con...

Youth employment and skills development program Youth employment and skills development program - South Africa Matric results are not a reliable barometer of education quality  We propose a solution by combining three “problem areas” and transforming them into “opportunity”. The three key issues that we face in Africa are that of poverty, unemployment and the huge backlog of affordable homes. Currently there are 800,000 graduates that are unemployed in South Africa.  This means that our universities are producing a significant amount of unwanted skills for the needs of industry and our country. This prompts the questions: - Does our higher education system produce unemployable graduates? Does our schooling system create unemployed youth after grade 12? Should we relook at the antiquated 1900 English curriculum applied in schools today? Are what is taught relevant to what is needed? Should we not cater for children who are not mathematical or scientifically inclined? Should w...
