                        The Weitz Center for Development Studies opened the 6th Integrated Development Projects Competition. We called professionals from developing countries to submit projects, which reflect the spirit of the "Rehovot Approach" formulated by Prof. Raanan Weitz. This year the competition focused on "Extreme Poverty Alleviation".

                        The Professional Committee of the Raanan Weitz Competition 2011 has recommended the Weitz Center to select Elmer V. Sayre and Jed Christian Z. Sayre from the WAND Foundation in the Philippines, with their project on: "Using the Rehovot Approach to close the Loop between Sanitation, Food security and Biodiversity Improvement as a Mean to Alleviate Extreme Poverty: The WAND foundation experience" for First Place.

                        Project Presentation and award granting were hold in a ceremony on December 19, 2011 in Rehovot, Israel.
