"We fundamentally believe that a new global development paradigm derived from building our common destiny in the spirit of ubuntu (the African philosophy of oneness, interdependence, and interconnectedness to one another and the universe) as well as the collective African experience will be the single greatest contribution to humanity and planetary survival in the twenty-first century."
