What do you feed the global elite for lunch? My colleague and white-badge holder Natsuko Waki gives an insight into the way delegates are looked after at the WEF:
"Food is one of the key highlights of the World Economic Forum and Wednesday's lunch brought taste from around the world to serve hungry CEOs, heads of states and policymakers who spend the morning discussing the outlook for the global economy and corporate profits.
From Russia, there were rolled mini-blinis filled with salmon tartar and chive cream and Solyanka pork stew. Assorted sushi and salmon sashimi represented taste of Japan (in this landlocked Switzerland).
Participants queued for crispy couscous balls with aubergine cavier and kibbeh saijeh -- beef meatballs with pistachios and potato croquettes from Lebanon. They also enjoyed banana bread with avocado mash and fried bean balls in Ghana." -

Joe Cerrell, Director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's European Office, has written a piece for us on how global development has become firmly established on the Davos agenda over the years.
"What greater coup than to crash this gathering in Davos and try to get the titans of business, government and industry to pay attention to Africa. Development activists like me used to talk about the necessity of engaging “non-traditional allies” on our causes, and there was no better place than the WEF to recruit these new voices", he writes. blogs.reuters.com -
