WORLDAWARE BUSINESS GROUP ON PUBLIC POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT

Development Journalists’ Group

Chairman: David Spark
Secretary: John Madeley

The Development Journalists’ Group is a group of press, radio, television and freelance journalists who are interested in world development issues.

On their behalf Worldaware arranges meetings in Central London at which they have the opportunity to hear, question and discuss informally with people who have something important to say about any aspect – economic, political, technical or social – of world development.

There is no fixed calendar of meetings, speakers are booked as and when available. The meetings usually take place at 1.00 pm at Worldaware’s offices.

Past speakers include:

  • Chaiwat Thirpan, founder of the Bangkok Forum
  • Tu Nan, Chinese economist and journalist
  • Brian Macarthur, Assistant Editor of The Times
  • Sir David Hannay, former UK representative at the United Nations
  • George Moody-Stuart, Chairman of Transparency International UK.

The Group has also organised the launch of both the 1996 UNCTAD Trade and Development Report and the 1996 UNCTAD World Investment Report.
