The Way to Develop Africa

and other 3rd world nations is trying to attract enterprising individuals with a bit of money to invest.




I like the idea. But it has to be regulated of course by the people. That's difficult, though, cause 3rd world countries usually have weak governments.

I wanted to make this thread in TLR or HL but since the segment was on Kenya I made it in here.

What say you, militants?

Cool story, bro.. Africa's resources have been raped, and colonialism has been something Africa has been trying to shake by committing countless genocides/ethnic cleansings since we said hi to the 1900's. The past 4 or 5 years we have seen some progress. The governments need to be more democratic, but I hate the French/Beligium, Spanish, and English are still hanging around like vultures. Africa is sitting on too much resources to be poor, but corruption is the biggest problem. Only way to develop Africa is to have better Govt in place, and not be raped of our resources.

Investment + A steady gov't is pretty much what I said in my OP.

Somebody's gotta want to build something over there, just gotta have a government(political will) to encourage that investment and control the greed and abuse.

Manufacturing, education and agricultural

My point is...this is like someone saying people need to invest in Brazil or Mexico. Brazil, Mexico, Africa might be 3rd world, but we know the biggest problem is they are not getting their affairs in order.

Work on them nuclear activities...

It has to be done with respect to the environment too.........................for example................in either Kenya or Tanzania .............................they are building/spending money to build either a rail or road bridge above parts of the Serengeti so animals can bypass without being killed.

So develop, but do things to protect those plant and animal habitats too especially parks and sensitive areas ........

I know people say fuuck animals when you have people starving, but Africa is not Africa without its biodiversity heritage...and there is no need that human progress/development and flora/fauna can't coexist........its not always going to be the cheap way out though........as building a bridge cost more money versus just an at-grade transportation right of way ..

Here is an actually an underpass for elephants in Kenya....I'm almost sure this is the first animal crossing in Africa

Dude i think you are really late, but i sit back for a second. Please don't think Africa as whole country, it's a continent, and each country has very different issues to deal with.

Yep, they do not have a central government.

Its like saying we have to invest in Europe, but Germany, France, Spain, and England all move differently.

Nah breh you right, 2 things destroyed Africa, our biggest mistake was greeting the colonists with hospitality, but we could have salvaged something by protecting resources, but corruption and unstable political regime have also diminished that as well

Governing was hard because of all the instability that came from all the genocides and wars, and bad governing was the root of the genocides and wars. A very vicious cycle, where one feeds the other.

We are seeing more peace, which is amazing because some of these groups were warring since the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's. But there are still places in Africa where conflict has not stopped.

Africa has a long way to go versus the Middle East who were able to make money off their rich resources, mostly because they were not colonize. But Africans are very capable.

Oh don't get me wrong breh. I believe probably at least 80-85% of Africa's problems are not its own fault. Whenever we did have leaders who were true to the cause these fukking white people had them replaced in a coup or killed.

JumpStart Africa makes crowdfunding available to African entrepreneurs
July 21, 2014 » Business & Video3 Comments

JumpStart Africa is the first crowdfunding platform to revolutionize the way the world supports Africa by backing innovative projects developed by African entrepreneurs. Simply put, JumpStart Africa is Africa’s Kickstarter.

All entrepreneurs face great challenges – coming up with the perfect idea, finding the time to develop a plan, etc. – but those in Africa have an even harder time securing funding for such projects. Banks aren’t as supportive and investors are generally scarce due to challenging business environments and legal structures. Online payments remain a challenge for many in Africa, but there are a growing number of solutions that allow more people to start and support businesses.

JumpStart Africa aims to change that by creating a uniquely African online platform to attract attention for African entrepreneurs. The process to create a campaign is similar to other crowdfunding campaigns – set a campaign length, set a fundraising goal, create a video, and set perks. What sets JumpStart Africa apart from other crowdfunding sites is a dedication to African ideas. Potential backers already know that all projects on the site are intended to empower African entrepreneurs and can therefore understand the projects through a more refined lens.

Though the site isn’t 100% live, JumpStart Africa is already accepting projects to help aspiring entrepreneurs raise the funding they so desperately need. We had the chance to test-drive the platform and we must say the flow is seamless. Nearly all features are similar to those found on popular sites Kickstarter or Indiegogo (a good thing!). If a project is successfully funded, JumpStart Africa will apply a 10% fee.



In the meantime, we encourage you to signup for the newsletter and better yet, considering submitting a project. Projects can fall into any category (art, comics, craft, design, fashion, film, games, music, photography, publishing, technology are all free game) as long as they lead to an eventual product.

Plus, Jumpstart Africa is hosting a free Q&A session with their Founder, Ahmed Zrikem, on July 31st. This is a great opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators to meet with a seasoned African entrepreneur live via Google Hangout.

Note: JumpStart Africa is accredited by the Crowdfunding Accreditation for Platform Standards (CAPS).
