    CGW4U WORLD ISSUES UNIT 3 ASSIGNMENT

    World Bank:

    The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world.
    We provide low-interest loans, interest-free credits, and grants to developing countries. These support a wide
    array of investments in such areas as education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and
    private sector development, agriculture, and environmental and natural resource management.

    For the purposes of this assignment, we will say that the World Bank has a budget of 5 million dollars when
    considering providing money to 11 countries.

    TASK: You will present (individually) at a World Bank “conference” as a representative of a certain country.
    Your presentation will be approximately 12 minutes. Your goal is to demonstrate your overall
    understanding of economics through this conference. WHEN YOU PRESENT, YOU MUST PROVIDE
    A WORKS CITED LIST.

    PRESENTATION FORMAT

    For your presentation, you have to convince your peers and the “World Bank” that your country deserves loans,
    grants or credit. You must justify the amount of money you are asking for. Therefore, this requires research on
    your part.

    Part 1) Summarize for your audience what your current debt crisis is – what your current debt is, brief
    explanation of WHY AND HOW your country has accumulated this debt (4-5 minutes)

    Part 2) Describe/summarize a minimum of FIVE major issues that your country faces. Explain how much
    money you would like to help remedy these 5 issues. You must justify these amounts of money. You must
    explain specifically how you intend to spend this money and how the spending of this money will help to
    resolve these issues. (6 minutes)

    Examples of Sectors to Consider When Planning Your Country’s Budget

    Education Agriculture and food Health Social Services


    supply, Fishing,
    Forestry, (natural
    resources in general)
    Trade and Industry Public Administration, Water, sanitation and Military
    Law and Justice flood protection
    Infrastructure and Environment Employment/Labour Immigration
    Transportation
    Part 3) Once you have presented your information, you have to be prepared to answer questions about your
    proposed budget by your teacher (the World Bank) and your peers (the other countries). This will test your
    ability to think on your feet, demonstrate your knowledge and further justify your choices. There will be a vote
    determining whether or not your country will be granted the money you ask for. (approximately 2-3 minutes)

    Here are some suggestions of countries that currently have debt crisis:

    Things to consider in regards to your presentation:
