TheGoodinAfrica.Org
As the spirit of the new dawn in Africa beckons on Africa and her people to awaken
to the possibilities within; to effectively harness the
continent’s inherent human and material resources and deservedly earn
respect and recognition from the rest of the world, the time has come to end the negative perception of Africa and
re-educate the world on the fact that Africa is not and has never been a “dark
uncertain continent.” Rather, Africa is a Colourful and Vibrant Continent that is blessed with abundant resources and Beaming with limitless opportunities
and a wonderful array of resourceful and energetic people, desirous to make
earnest and worthy contributions towards a promising
future and a better world order.
Africa is and has always been open
for business and prosperity and is poised to enhance and harness the process
of globalization.
TheGoodinAfrica.org is an Initiative aimed at accentuating
the positive in Africa. It is guided and driven by the Development
Visions articulated by the Stakeholder Bodies in Africa and
is focussed on accelerated investment and job creation that will enhance the
quality of life and social justice of all people in Africa.
TheGoodinAfrica.org,
through its “Source it Africa Campaign” will
project Africa in a positive light globally and will promote Trade and Investment Opportunities, Tourism, The Arts as well as Goods, Products and Services in Africa.
A situation in which Africa only serves as a natural resource supplier to
the world must now be reversed and genuine efforts to increase the wealth
creating capacity of Africans through value added oriented industrialization
must become a priority for Africa.
Consequently, manufacturing opportunities need to be identified and efforts
to identify niche products out
of Africa must be highlighted for entrepreneurs in Africa.
Linkages must be established between small and medium sized companies in Africa and trade between these enterprises must be vigorously promoted and marketed to international
companies where joint ventures with global players will enhance productivity and competitiveness.
Overcoming the challenges of wars, crime, hunger, disease and environmental
degradation in Africa requires effective education and training programmes
that will empower the people with requisite knowledge and skills that will
ensure that Africans will not just survive but will thrive as worthy contributors
and bonafide stake holders in a globalized world order.
TheGoodinAfrica.org,
therefore, is the property of all in Africa as well as friends of Africa.
It serves as a vehicle of hope and prosperity to restore optimism and engender
renewed pride in our people and our continent. As a propelling force in the
drive to build a new Africa, it deserves both political
and business support that will enhance its potentials to accomplish
its goals and objectives. |
