Center for Applied Economic Policy Development
The
purpose of CAEPD is to enhance discussion and policy development
between the
advanced economies and Africa.
Africa has always been the most exploited region of our world. The business community and countries of the developed world has always viewed Africa as a warehouse, storeroom or worse - personal treasure room. There are already enough Multilateral Organizations, NGO's, governments, movie stars and celebrities who have done a fairly good job at pointing out all the overwhelming problems and wars that the excesses of the developed economies have exchanged with Africa for a limitless amount of natural resource wealth.
CAEPD is focused on a very different approach to Africa. We will focus exclusively on developing practical economic and development solutions to begin to address the "reality on the ground" in the only way that make sense for the people who call Africa home - by creating substantial investment and business opportunities by encouraging job creation and growth.
