We must first address the dis-eases hindering economic development in our community:
COLONIALISM, CORRUPTION & DIS-UNITY...
Colonialism in all forms, economic or by force;
Corruption in positions of authority, influence, security, and governance; and
Dis-unity amongst our youths, adults, and elders; must be eradicated.
We, as inheritors of a remarkable legacy of civilization, integrity, principle, morality, honesty and loyalty, paved by our ancestors,
must strengthen the connection to each other, home and abroad.
We need a Physical, Mental, and Spiritual evolution:
Physically, we must unite to Our "Homeland" from wherever we come, and the "earth", which we are from.
Mentally, we must unite to
Ourstory as it occurred based on
the factual evidence, not on contrived speculation.
Spiritually, we must unite to the energy force that transformed invisible to visible, the Creator, where we communicate as One.
JAH Bless!!!

Economic Development - Infrastructures
|
|
|
|
|
Free education from birth through life.
|
|
|
Clean and sustainable. Africans must develop self sustaining power systems (e.g., Solar Pack, etc.,) that
are able to support their family energy needs within their respective communities. Larger energy
facilities must be developed to support larger business enterprises and regional initiatives (i.e., Hydro
Dams, etc.).

Environmentally-friendly shelter using natural, strong, and sustainable building materials (e.g., concrete,
concrete blocks, and cement, etc.,).
|

Security to protect all African resources, people and property, from exposure to disease/violence.
Security forces can perform agricultural transportation duties during periods of low activity.
African Union Security Forces (AUSFs) exist to protect all African resources, people and property, from
exposure to disease and violence. AUSFs can be kept active during periods of low security activities:
- Regionally organized Conflict Resolution Units to respond to civil conflicts within their respective
region and support for contiguous regions.
- Regionally organized Emergency Response Units to respond to disasters, man-made and natural,
within their respective region and support for contiguous regions.

Transportation
& Distribution
|
|
African Transcontinental Railway from North to South; East to West; and all around the continent.
Identify suitable short-term and long-term routing and build-out from existing Railway systems to mining
and manufacturing facilities for African distribution while simultaneously connecting to other rail
systems and ports for foreign export. This will expand port development and create transportation
arteries to the African interior for agricultural, resource and energy development.
Highway and Roadway routes will be necessary to supplement the primary mode of transportation,
railway, to get people and produce to transportation and distribution hubs, respectively. Highways and
Roadways will be limited to reduce carbon footprint and pollution from burning fossil fuels.
Systematically linking countries via rail systems across the entire continent allows for efficient and cost
effective transportation of food, people, and products, especially in times of crisis (e.g., disease, climate,
drought, conflicts, etc.).

Economic Planning (Water, Food, Shelter, Education....)
|
|
|
Engineer and develop methods of extraction and irrigation that will provide clean water locally,
regionally, nationally, and then globally for sustenance for humans, agriculture and animals.
|
|
|
Engineer and develop methods of agriculture that maximizes the use of organic fertilizing that will
increase safe food production and standardize the proximity to fresh produce locally, regionally,
nationally, and then globally for sustenance for humans, agriculture and animals.
|
|
|
Engineer and develop methods of home construction that maximizes the use or combine raw materials,
such as concrete, that will increase stability and protection against local and regional extreme
climate/weather conditions.
|
|
|
Engineer and develop methods that maximizes life-long free access to comprehensive education that is
accurate, complete, and timely.
|
|
Health and nutrition: Optimum health requires mental, physical, and spiritual nutrition. Nutrition of the
mind with wisdom, the body with food, and the spirit with truth and justice, MAAT.
|
|
Technology and
Innovation
|
|
Engage integrated information services to identify areas for technological and engineering solutions to
increase productivity, efficiency, effectiveness; locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.

Financial: (Resource Revenues - Operational Costs) = profits
- African Union Currency (AUC) - Single currency to be used for trading between African
countries and then with non-African countries.
Profit Distribution Formula:
50% - Returns to the Country (Develop resources and infrastructures)
20% - African Resource and Infrastructure Development Fund
10% - Employee Investment Compensation (Education and Training)
10% - Company Operations & Re-investment (Salaries & Production Costs)
10% - Investors
We determine resource revenues based on the value of the resource and oversee the operational costs to
reflect accurate revenues and 'profits'.
Keep it simple!

Purchasing is responsible for engaging consultants that can provide the initial expertise necessary to
train African subject matter experts who can provide local, regional, national, and global technical
services.
|
|
|
Lead by the The African Union must provide centralized government support to regions and countries
that in turn provide support to local governments. It is incumbent that the African Union adhere to the
charter articles set forth in the original OAU Charter and subsequent AU Constitutive Act, so that we are
not distracted by 'Economic exploitation' under the guise of 'Cooperative Economics'.
