WMO IN THE CHANGING WORLD<br />
The developing<br />
community must adapt<br />
to a changing world<br />
WMO PC<br />
How can we plan for a better future ure in an<br />
age of scarcity and uncertainty?<br />
At a time when resources are lim-<br />
ited<br />
and the challenges facing the<br />
planet seem monumental, the only<br />
way forward for development is to look at<br />
the world from a different perspective.<br />
Just how far are we prepared to go in<br />
the search for a new and efficient future<br />
for development? From a macro level, the<br />
implications of a changing world need flexible<br />
thinking.<br />
The landscape of the charity/welfare<br />
sector has changed significantly and many<br />
charity organizations have closed, ended<br />
programmes or made staff redundant after<br />
losing statutory funding. Others, however,<br />
are gearing up for a bigger role in public<br />
service delivery and the devolution of power<br />
to community organisations. ns. The plight of<br />
many charities faced with funding cuts is<br />
sympathetic.<br />
In the current world economy, we do<br />
understand the frustration, anxiety and<br />
insecurity in the sector. But charities have<br />
got to think beyond the short-term horizon<br />
of public money, because we are moving<br />
into a world where there is less of it around.<br />
They’ve got to come to terms with this. The<br />
grant that perhaps they’ve come to rely on<br />
from the local authority is now vulnerable<br />
or gone and they have to think about what<br />
they do and why they exist - and, of course,<br />
that is extremely uncomfortable for a lot of<br />
organisations in the short term. “Things are<br />
very painful, and we do need to prepare the<br />
ground for changing the fundamentals of<br />
the sector and live to a long term strategy<br />
for the benefits of our community..<br />
All the rational and logical thoughts end<br />
to a point of Education, which is considered<br />
as the rolling stone for bringing a dynamic<br />
change in the society and the community.<br />
It is a kind of revolution which has better<br />
prospects and WMO, very rightly has upheld<br />
the responsibility in providing financial<br />
assistance to its community members for<br />
getting quality education.<br />
The importance of education is most<br />
evident as a means to alleviate poverty and<br />
engineering social changes. With quality<br />
education, each and every individual will<br />
be empowered to think, question and see<br />
