ABOUT ESGADIA
Who we are
Economic Strategic Growth And Development Initiative of Africa (ESGADIA) is a Pan Africanists, Not-for-profit, Non- Governmental Organization saddled with the task of Industrializing Africa through the facilitation of workable partnerships between African heads of Governments and Private Investors.
Part of our statutory mandate is to review Governments policies as they affect investors; to ensure that such policies are not counterproductive but are investor friendly. It is a dream of “One Youth One job” that we want to see actualize in the continent of Africa.
Aims & Objective
While the rest of the world looks up to Africa for the lion share of its raw materials for Economic growth, such contributions are not matched with commensurate benefits of economic growth and development in Africa. Consequently, this has led some African youths to find solace in all manner of criminal activities and desperations including Robbery, Kidnapping, Drug trafficking, Internet fraud etc.
While thousands die every day in the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, in attempt to flee from ‘‘harsh and unfriendly’’ yet an Unveiled Africa.
In other to attract Investment to Africa, Africans must be prepared to change their ways of doing business and have the right attitude towards mankind.
Our vision is to create a new entrepreneurial consciousness of gainful employment and Economic empowerment among African youths.
To work in partnership with the African Heads of Government, to Industrialise Africa, thereby eradicating Unemployment and Hunger in Africa.
Our values are summed up in what we have identified as defining essence and notable philosophy of’;
- Discipline
- Hard work
- Creative intelligence
- Goal setting and planning
- Human capacity development
- Boldness
- Respect for ethics; and
- Excellence
