PDG Carl Treleaven October is the month when Rotarians worldwide celebrate the critical focus on Community Economic Development (CED). This celebration might not have the fanfare of other areas of focus like disease prevention, providing clean water, or protecting the environment, but its impact resonates deeply across all these areas.

Rotarians have the power to change the world—one village at a time. According to the President of Women’s World Banking, "there are roughly 780 million women who do not have access to formal financial services. And they are now overwhelmingly the very poor, the very rural, or those living in quite remote areas." Rotarians of TCP Global invite Rotary clubs to help close this financial services gap.

Rotarian Sunny Akuopha’s journey into the Rotary world began in 1983 through a Rotaract Club. His first encounter with Rotary was through a powerful message on a 4-Way Test billboard that stood proudly on the main road of his hometown. This inspiring message ignited his passion for Rotary, and when he and his friends were invited to start a Rotaract Club, Sunny eagerly joined and took on the role of Club Services Manager with great enthusiasm.

by Rakesh Babuji Revitalizing economically depressed regions is a complex challenge that requires a careful balance between driving economic growth and ensuring social equity. In various parts of Africa, South America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, communities face significant hurdles such as high unemployment, crumbling infrastructure, and insufficient investment. The Rotary Action Group for Community Economic Development (RAGCED) plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by offering essential resources, expertise, and fostering partnerships that promote sustainable development.

by PDG Carl Treleaven If you’ve ever served as an officer or board member of a Rotary Club, you’ve likely been involved in discussions or debates about dues. The common debate is whether the club’s dues are too high. Interestingly, those who complain about high dues are often the same people who spend hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on discretionary purchases. Have you ever bought concert tickets or dined at an expensive restaurant? Such one-time purchases can far exceed your Rotary club’s annual dues.

I now believe that of all 25 Rotary Action Groups, RAGCED could and should have the very broadest reach, and maybe even the greatest impact, of all. That’s not at all to say that RAGCED is any more important than the other RAG’s. All Rotary Action Groups do very valuable work for Rotary, but it seems to me there’s a possibility for RAGCED to have the greatest reach and impact.

As I’ve said many times before, one of the most important ways that Rotary Action Groups can help individual Rotarians, Rotaractors, and their clubs is to help in developing global grant projects. The members of every club within the Rotary world know the needs of their local communities, and when they identify a need, they usually know exactly how to bring the right resources together to solve the problem. However, how do you solve the problem when it’s a continent, or maybe even half-world, away? One of the first tasks is to identify like-minded Rotary Clubs in other countries that might be interested in working with you and your club. I want to share with you a not particularly well-known way to help make the right connections: project fairs.

By Juliana Corredor, Deputy Director Cadre Community Economic Development – CED - is one of the most critical areas of focus, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, thousands of small entrepreneurial families lost their livelihoods because the global economy, in general, entered into a crisis. Following the pandemic, larger businesses managed to survive, but the smallest ones simply disappeared.

I hope each of you enjoyed the many holidays in December, and are now refreshed and ready to start a new year: welcome to 2024! Rotary’s theme for January is Vocational Service. Sadly, most Rotarians don’t think much about Vocational Service these days, but it’s the most distinguishing form of service that we have, something we should celebrate. What makes Rotary unique is the idea of applying one’s vocational expertise in service to others. The skills we’ve all gained in our work lives can and should be used to serve both one another and those in need. That’s been a core principle of Rotary since Paul Harris started Rotary 119 years ago.

Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, conflicts, and climate change, these numbers are expected to rise. Addressing poverty, especially for the most vulnerable, is at the core of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and takes centre stage in Goal 1: No Poverty.

With an extreme level of economic disparity, the odds are stacked against the youth of Colombia. 41.5% of the male youth, and 45.7% of female youth live below the poverty line. And before the pandemic a staggering 61.2% of rural youth were living in poverty. At first glance these numbers may seem discouraging, but for Investing Hope Foundation they also represent a significant opportunity. IHF sees the potential that these youth possess and seeks to unlock it by providing entrepreneurship and savings education that will have a lifelong impact. The organization has seen first hand how with the right education and resources the youth are able to overcome economic and social challenges to not only meet their basic needs, but even save for their future.

The Informal Economy According to a recent report by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 60% of the world's population participate in the informal sector - these are the legions of subsistence farm owners, market traders, street food sellers, seamstresses, and cobblers we see when we visit a poor country. Since the 1970s, international development practitioners, including many International Rotarians, have supported the idea that with a small loan, those running "microbusinesses" in this informal economy will begin to prosper. Over the past several years, however, a growing body of evidence shows that while those with the best established businesses are prospering, most loans are used for immediate needs - food, medicine, school fees. For those living on the edge of survival, repaying these often costly loans is very difficult.

Attending a Zoom meeting of the Yumbe, Uganda provisional Rotary Club, my eyes welling up with emotion, I reached out in chat to another Zoomer who had just wiped her cheek. She admitted she too was tearing up. The club is not yet officially recognized by Rotary International, the women are well below the poverty line but they are already doing service projects.
