Summary
The African poverty is
something which requires a special approach because it is rooted in various problems of a global
interest and scale. Although many initiatives have been implemented, no real good
results have come from them. There is no other choice but to promote and implement
a multi level collaborative interdependence with the rest of the world. A program
which implement such an approach will develop a mechanism through which the highly
educated human resources existing at universities and other institutions are wisely
utilized, industrial mind for added financial value onto natural resources is
developed, and the creation of job opportunities that promote high quality product
for local consumption and export is actualized. Based on a 4-year
research DAPAD has come up with a
development model, the Integrated Social Well-being Development Program (in short
The INSOWEL Program).
For
a long time, Africa has been impoverished by the European colonial rule and
slavery trading; and exploitation by a handful of people(sometimes African people)
still continues and uniform development is yet to start, resulting in a
disproportion of wealth distribution among the inhabitants surrounded with
riches.
The African natural environment
is indispensable for all mankind and the living creatures on earth. As the
deterioration of environment progresses, global warming has been a big issue. But
as a critical topic for the whole world, eradicating poverty in Africa is an urgent
task.
Then, the purpose of DAPAD’s activity (enlightenment of
leaders and
social education for the general public), is to make the
African people more
aware of the importance of self-support and self-reliance
promotion and
partnership promotion (learning together, creating together,
growing
together spirit), the environmental preservation, and a
sustainable life style.
DAPAD has produced a regional and whole country bound
integrated type
social development program which is based on six projects as
the
necessary minimum requirement
for a healthy living environment.
DAPAD has been implementing these six projects, medical and
social
insurance, preservation of environment and agriculture, and supply of safe
drinking water, food processing development, construction of
infrastructure,
participation of all, promotion of information
sharing etc,
as
enlightened
educational tools.
DAPAD has come to this conclusion as the result of an
extended period of
research and study which show that working on any one of the
above
project alone does not bring any long term
solution.
In ddition, implementation of the INSOWEL Program is carried
out through
the realization of supporting projects such as the JACE Super
Tour, the
Dynamic Academic Cooperation with/among African universities,
the
promotion of FDI
ß
->LDI
linkages
with partnership promotion
and
technology transfer, networking with government agencies and
international
organizations .
These
projects are designed for African people and the whole world to awaken them to the
problems we are all facing in this world of interdependence, and to empower them to create an environment
which promotes mutually
