One Global Economy
One Global Economy was founded in 2005, with the goal of expanding One Economy's domestic efforts to communities around the world. One Global Economy's methodology involves identifying underserved international areas and then identifying the key developmental issues facing those communities. One Global Economy consults with community members, collaborates with local organizations, and holds local workshops to discover what resources residents would like to have access to on their local Beehives. These web portals deliver "highly contextualized information on issues including employment, civic life, health, and education" and "equip low-income households and individuals with the information and resources necessary for social mobility and immediate improvement of their quality of life."
In addition to the global Beehives in Ethiopia, Nigeria, Turkey, Cameroon, Rwanda, Kenya, Jordan, South Africa, Israel, and Mexico, One Global Economy also operates a computer center in Durban, South Africa and recently partnered with e-Mexico to open a community technology center in Mexico City.
Much of One Global Economy's work is part of Cisco's four-year, $10 million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative to alleviate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. Cisco has partnered with four NGOs--Habitat for Humanity, Inveneo, One Global Economy, and Teachers Without Borders—to provide "affordable housing, community connectivity, online content and tools, and hands-on training" to sub-Saharan residents.

Famous quotes containing the words global and/or economy:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“The basis of political economy is non-interference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply. Do not legislate. Meddle, and you snap the sinews with your sumptuary laws.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
