Develop Africa is a non-profit organization founded with the aim of facilitating meaningful and sustainable development in Africa. Develop Africa, Inc. was birthed out of the vision that human resource development is the key to improving nation-building capacity in Africa.
The general history of Africa since achieving independence has been one of development failure. Develop Africa Inc. was birthed out of a response to this need. Develop Africa Inc. seeks to bridge the development deficit gap posed by the continent’s long years of mismanagement and rule. Develop Africa Inc. strategic mandate is to raise a new generation of African leaders by focusing on the human capital aspect of development.
As Mistry (2006) suggests aid to Africa has not worked because human, social and institutional capital poses the binding restraint. Develop Africa Inc will utilize systematic progressive steps to address the issue of human development.
Develop Africa Inc.'s strategic mandate is focused on the following key components:
STRATEGIC MANDATE:
1. Transformational Education,
2. Resource Development, (Human Resource)
3. Investment Training and
4. Strategic Empowerment
Through training, scholarship, investment and partnerships with NGO’s Develop Africa is committed to developing Africa’s resources and its vulnerable and poor people through the promotion of transformational education, resource development, investment training and strategic empowerment. Our premise is based on the notion that in order to change one’s personal, national or organizational status there must necessarily be a “change in the thinking and processing pattern of the mind.”
With a focus on resource and human development, Develop Africa is dedicated to effective approaches to address the problems of 3rd world/developing nations in the area of education and resource development.
