Our strategy : fighting for development

We are the “African Development Commandos”. Fighting for the development of our continent requires a lot of means. And we clearly don’t have much. Therefore, we must choose our actions very carefully, taking into account the map of all development actors actions in Africa (Non-Profits, Governments, International Institutions, Civil Society).

Assuming that, we have first of all identified and chosen Education as the “Mother of the Battle”. Figures of recent years educational projects in Africa show that Primary Education is already “widely” financed as Millennium Development Goal number 2. About Universities, several strategies are currently elaborated to set up the so-called e-University that will allow African students to attain the same curricula as their counterparts in Northern countries.

The secondary Education seems to be “out of scope” of international funding. Therefore, the level of secondary education is inexorably going down in Africa, due to lack of means and infrastructure. Especially in the field of ICT and new technologies, the so-called “digital divide” is widening.

Our initiative “40 000 computers by 2015” aims to address this problem, while bringing a decisive logistical support to the secondary schools of the continent. The goal is to revitalize the declining secondary education and better prepare the youth to the university.

But this is only a first step. In the founding document of our NGO, we mentioned several projects that will be implemented in respect to the evolution of our activities. Simultaneously, in order to realise these development projects, we have decided to setup different fundraising initiatives. The current initiatives are:
