GIP – NEW APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE HUNGER, STARVATION AND POVERTY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AFRICA
Paris, May 24, 2013
Below is our {(GIP and Dr. Phillip C. Ofume & Associates and International Endowment for Democracy (EID) and All Progressive Congress of Nigeria (APC in the Diaspora)} contribution to the “2nd International Education, Business and Technology Conference and EXPO” Chicago, Illinois USA on May 27 - May 31, 2013
GLOBAL INITIATIVE PROGRAMS (GIP) - Affirmatively, GIP request the United Nations and state parties to peruse GIP’s new approach to sustainable efforts to eliminate hunger, starvation and poverty of the less privileged people across the world (See Object of GIP below).
In talking about political, social, religion and economic integration, peace and stability but stay efforts towards elimination of poverty is empty effort. The class gap between the “have” and “have not” is the major prong to failure of this effort.
GIP reasoned the whole system of effort, and decided to fight elimination of the inability to have food on the table and roof over the head of the “have not.” This will automatically eliminate conflict and instability; state and non-state terrorism and terrorist activities; civil and other wars; special and other clandestine insurgencies; etc.
We have viewed and captured the mindset of the people involved in these activities that ‘poverty” is their resources to enhance faster recruitment of insurgents and other operatives which they us because of the cheap labor opportunity base.
If majority of these target or” have not” communities are part of the “have”, recruitment of the” have not” will be difficult and when recruitment is difficult, this route to elimination of conflict and instability; state and non-state terrorism and terrorist activities; civil and other wars; special and other clandestine insurgencies; etc because wealthy and other “have” people do not wear entry army and insurgency uniform or secret tags.
This reason why GIP & Associates have quickly added “Habitat” as gap linkage in its agricultural project. GIP desires to have Career Farmer Project (CFP) which will organize education and training to turn out career farmers with up and running FARMER TRAINING COLLEGE/SCHOOL similar to Teachers Training College/School.
These students will graduate to establish and to run farm settlement and farmers’ domestic and international markets, and export. For example, in Africa GIP and CFP projects will cut down food price over half during the first 5-year development plan.
We are restating the foundation position of President Yoweri Museveni and citing his strong position verbatim as follows and thank him for this eye-opening strategic push to realization of what Africa and world need to reclaim regional integration because divided system is not worthy for development and prosperity:
Africa Must Unite
President Yoweri Museveni has urged African countries to work towards regional integration as this is a sure way to achieve economic integration. He said, “This is the major therapy that Africa needs.” While addressing Heads of State and delegates at the opening of the 16th Summit of the COMESA Heads of State and Government on 23 November 2012 in Kampala, Uganda, President Museveni said that integration should have two dimensions: economic and political. President Yoweri Museveni is the chairman of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) regional economic bloc.
The people of East Africa have been yearning for both political and economic integration while COMESA aims at economic integration because political integration at a continental level is unrealistic. However, I am glad that we are in the COMESA-EAC-SADC Tripartite which will enable us to achieve economic integration,” Mr Museveni added.

POSITION OF THE GLOBAL INITIATIVE PROGRAMS (GIP)
In part GIP is established to undertake a global new agricultural strategy to increase food production and lower the price of agricultural produce and product to african people and others as a forum to eliminate food shortage in order to eliminate poverty, hunger and starvation.
GIP decided to do universal primary agricultural education and training to turn out several educated young and adult guest farmers that will smartly work and take up the challenge of finding lifetime career in agriculture to organize team by team farmers' unit in a designated farm settlement which will be directly controlled and managed by GIP agricultural experts across Africa in selected countries to serve needy countries including countries where poverty, hunger and starvation hit hard.
To implement this action plan, micro and Macro agricultures will be ran and managed under dependent development platform to accomplish the following set objectives:
• GIP will team up about four hundred (400) learned farmers and purchase or rent or lease farm settlement land; purchase machinery, seed and other tools and appoint farmer managers who are also graduate farmers of the GIP’s education and training and assign them to manage a given farm settlement unit.
• The purpose of this direct management strategy will reorganize African agricultural system via indigenous african agricultural economics, development and implementation strategies because Africa is impoverished by the internationally granted, loaned and donated monies which are issued to individual and unlearned farmers at revolving interest rate to sustain agriculture and food production which have been failing and causing massive food shortage, starvation, poverty and related under-development across Africa.
• The research and investigation of GIP show that in place of investing these monies for this purpose which is agriculture and food production, the monies are looted and repatriated oversea into the personal banks and other financial institutions of the African leaders, politicians and their foreign allies or friends. This the reason why both the grantors and recipients are not able to eliminate or reduce hunger, poverty and starvation across Africa.
• Donor financial institutions are interested in giving out money and watching their revolving interest rate and how to recover the money which was issued to farmers, governments and others but the purpose these monies are issued is not part of these financial institutions’ agenda. From country to country across Africa, these loaned or granted monies have become the under-development tools for African countries and people of Africa.
• GIP will not give out money to unlearned, unsupervised and unmonitored individual and team farmers and allow them to do what they want with the money. In place of this old practice, GIP will under an accelerated education and training, turn out corporate learned farmers and integrate them into agricultural settlement guest farm workers agricultural team unit with post service pension and gratuities purposed to produce high multiple large scale cheap commercial foods to serve Africa and beyond.
• GIP will provide agricultural technical and other advices and support to its farm settlement contract guest workers and retirement age will be capped at 65.
• GIP will invest its resources into farm produce and products output market research to market and preserve their products inside and outside Africa.
• Preservation and storage of perishable and imperishable products which will sustain seasonal agriculture, needy and crisis time and seedlings for the following crop-session which will be multiple within one cropping financial year.
• All selected case studies will directly be supervised by GIP staffs to avoid corruption and embezzlement of funds, which is a serious problem in many african and non-african nations.
• Food readiness during drought, political turmoil, civil wars, environmental pollution, and review of how in part or all together create hunger and starvation elimination will receive greater attention
• Providing simple and yet effective skills in each selective case study, better micro and macro financial management as an important tool in projecting their productivity, demand and supply even when agriculture is the biggest employer in the vast majority of the populations, will be given necessary attention.
• Leaders and subordinates will help communities understand the importance of sustainable Agriculture and food security as the key to every human life.
• Subsidized and free agricultural education, training and job will be provides for the adults and young men and women that desire to take agriculture as lifetime career. GIP will invest its resources into advanced education and training to increase its workforce path to better recruiting tool for future good and committed leaders of this new agricultural industry.
• The project and staff will have zero tolerance to any act of corruption and embezzlement of our funds, which will absolutely be an important helping tool in achieving our desired cut edge set goals.
• The programs will strictly adhere to all local, national and international rule of law to encourage and promote sustainable and open governance in its agricultural settlement regions.
• GIP’s projects will be funded by the following sources, private citizens; governmental and non government organizations; private businesses; institutions; nations; etc.
