The African Union
The
advent of the African Union (AU) can be described as an event of great
magnitude in the institutional evolution of the continent. On 9.9.1999,
the Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity
issued a Declaration (the Sirte Declaration) calling for the establishment
of an African Union, with a view, inter alia, to accelerating the process
of integration in the continent to enable it play its rightful role in
the global economy while addressing multifaceted social, economic and political
problems compounded as they are by certain negative aspects of globalization.The
main objectives of the OAU were, inter alia, to rid the continent of the
remaining vestiges of colonization and apartheid; to promote unity and
solidarity among African States; to coordinate and intensify cooperation
for development; to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity
of Member States and to promote international cooperation within the framework
of the United Nations. http://www.africa-union.org/
 The
World Bank
The World Bank is
a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries
around the world. We are not a bank in the common sense. We are made up
of two unique development institutions owned by 184 member countries—the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International
Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different
but supportive role in our mission of global poverty reduction and the
improvement of living standards. The IBRD focuses on middle income and
creditworthy poor countries, while IDA focuses on the poorest countries
in the world. Together we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credit
and grants to developing countries for education, health, infrastructure,
communications and many other purposes. http://www.worldbank.org/
International Monetary Fund
The IMF is an organization
of 184 countries, working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure
financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment
and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty. http://www.imf.org/

Official Website of the League of Arab States
By the end of the
millennium, the League of Arab States celebrated its 55th anniversary;
which postdated the emergence of an Arab Regional system, assuming a unique
character, which has then become a distinctive and indispensable characteristic,
namely: the national quality.
However, the Arab
League's membership has expanded as from seven Arab Member States, (forming
a total number of independent Arab countries during the mid- forties) so
as to reach 22 Arab Member States (forming the total number of Member States
in the Arab Regional System). Actually, the LAS has passed through several
stages of development and was contemporaneous with several numerous attempts
for its re-structuring. These stages and attempts reflect the efforts exerted
to modernize the same Arab Regional Regime. www.arableagueonline.org/
World Education Services: International Academic Credentialing Evaluation
For the past 30
years, World Education Services (WES) has been at the forefront of international
credential evaluation, helping immigrants and foreign students alike to
make the often difficult transition to a new environment by providing fair,
accurate and reliable evaluations of foreign academic credentials. Each
evaluation report completed by WES facilitates the integration of the applicant
into the academic and professional systems of the United States and Canada.
This has always been the mission of WES as a not-for-profit and 501-C-3
service-based organization. http://www.wes.org/
