VisionAfric NPC, a registered non profit making Pan-African Organization under the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, South Africa, has expressed its readiness to change the African story by investing its energy on reshaping, rebranding and rebirthing a secured and self-sustainable continent.
The body spoke in a statement titled, ‘Uniting African Diaspora: VisionAfric launches AVA 2050 to transform Africa into ‘Global Superpower,’ made available to the media on Thursday, April 13, by the VisionAfric Media Team on its projections.
The statement read in parts, “The mission is to transform Africa into an exceptional global superpower with world-class infrastructure through visionary leadership, potential project, business, trade and investment. VisionAfric’s vision is to restore the dignity and value of Africans across the globe.
“For centuries Africa’s children have been scattered to every corner of the world, whether it be for exploration, slave trade, or immigration to build economies for Western powers. Today, the universal African Diaspora population is more than 200 million people with an additional 1.3 billion living on Africa’s continent.
“Although Africa is the richest continent in the world in terms of its natural and mineral resources, yet has the largest share of extreme poverty rates globally. This is due to the unjust trade structures, inadequate infrastructure, food supply impediments, illnesses, climate control complications, hyper population growth, war and conflict.
“VisonAfric believes that by mobilizing Africans globally, these disparities can be reversed by 2050.
“The Africa Vision 2050 Agenda – AVA 2050 – will reshape, rebrand and rebirth a secured and self-sustainable continent. AVA 2050 is supported by African Intellectual Resource Organization, private and public companies, various NGOs, etc., to create Financial Institutions, Smart Cities, Global Economies, World-Class Infrastructure, One Currency, Aircraft, Train and Ship Assembly Plants, African Street Innovation Show, African Olympic Stadium and the future of Africa.
“The first step is to mobilize the Diaspora; and media will be needed. Malcolm X once said, ‘The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent. They control the minds of the masses.’ The time for Africa to control and create its own narrative is here but we must be organized and unified.
“One of AVA 2050’s first objectives is to create a universal directory of all African descendants, companies, NGOs and more. The data collected from this secured database will be used to identify strategic alliances, partnerships, resources, address and others.
“Proactively, there is an investment-based fund created to aid in the development of infrastructure, agriculture and other mega-potential projects that have been mapped out to create jobs for Africans, provide educational and financial resources and are aimed at making Africa the world’s next economic hub.
“In addition, VisionAfric implores all African media outlets in the world to register for a free listing in the universal directory. We also ask you to become a VisionAfric Media Partner as you are the voice of and the connection to Africans worldwide. For their participation, media partners will be the first to receive news stories, interviews, exclusives, promotional opportunities and more.
“This is a universal effort to mobilize and unify all African individuals, families, organizations, companies, spiritual and religious organizations, educational institutions, financial institutions, media outlets, politicians, community leaders, sports athletes, entertainers, and Pan-African associations.
