Africa Day Annual International Conference on Precision Citizen Participation (PCP) 2022
2022-05-19 12:00 - 2022-05-25 14:00 UTC
Theme: The AU “Africa-We-Want-Agenda-2063”: Unveiling Opportunities for the Private-Sector Citizens and Institutions
TO AVERT LETTING IT HAPPEN AGAIN, WE HAVE TAKEN IT UPON OURSELVES NEVER TO STOP CALLING ON CITIZENS OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND DIASPORA AFRICANS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO ARISE NOW AND PARTICIPATE, AFRICA DAY ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PRECISION CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (PCP) IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
Watch Now

In order to get the best out of the conference for yourself as an individual, your family, your country and our continent, a little preparation is advised. You may consider investing a few minutes to visit the two web-links on the African Union (AU) website (point 3 below) to familiarize yourself even if a little with the AU Agenda 2063 including the 7 aspirations, the goals, the priority areas and the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (FTYIP).
Beyond the conference, to receive updates on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in all fields, entrepreneurial, volunteer and training opportunities in line with your competencies as it relates to the AU Agenda 2063, happenings in key African industrialization priority areas for various countries, smart technologies, intelligent manufacturing, and steps towards creation of the “Africa We Want”, click the link above to register.

This year, in continued commemoration of the Annual Africa Day, while appreciating the achievements of our ancestors, far and near, and diverse innovative continental repair works being driven by citizens of Africa, home and abroad, we have invited 21 speakers, validated leaders in their own rights, from 11 countries to ‘park’ here with us as we drive conversations and plan sustainable pursuit of precise mutually beneficial actionable steps (PREMBAS) which are related to the competencies of African citizens and their strategic partners.
WHY DID WE TAKE IT UPON OURSELVES AND WHAT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY?

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000 - 2015, Africa was left behind...
8 years to 2030, expiry date of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which go by the slogan "...that none be left behind", suddenly COVID-19 comes along and aggravates Africa's already bad 'left-behind' status.
The First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (FTYIP) (2013 - 2023) https://au.int/en/agenda2063/ftyip of the AU Agenda 2063 https://au.int/en/agenda2063/goals which outlines 7 aspirations, 20 goals and 39 priority areas aimed at enhancing the quality of lives of all citizens of Africa elapses next year but much is left to be desired.
Research has it that a key lesson learned from MDGs is that localization of global goals is what is required to gain the type of success targeted by the world through UN SDGs.
Another name for localization would be Precise Citizen Participation through Precise Mutually Beneficial Actionable Steps (PREMBAS).
Due to the severity of Africa’s challenges, the Organization of African Academic Doctors (OAAD), TogetherPeople International, other partners, companies and globally acclaimed African citizens spread across over 70 countries have initiated diverse long-term sustainable initiatives intended to help Africans create the Africa We Want by ourselves while engaging with partners who see mutual benefits!
Guided by the AU Agenda 2063, we have set up the OAAD Solutions for Communities Initiative (OAAD SCI) under which we shall be inaugurating African Competency-Based Precision Citizen Participation Sub-Initiative (ACB PCPI).

COMBATTING PREDATORY ACADEMIC PRACTICES BY CREATING AWARENESS WITHIN THE OAAD NETWORK AND BEYOND
2021-12-07 14:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
Register for IAP's event here and join the conversation https://www.eventbrite.com/e/predatory-academic-practices-regional-perspectives-and-learning-tickets-175567275447 The Asia regional event is on 7th December.
According to Times Higher Education in their most recent release of global university ranking, only 3 African universities made it to top 300 in the world, first at 183 and the others in the 251 - 300 bracket. This is not a good representation of a continent of 1.3 billion predominantly young people.
Interacademy Partnership (IAP) carried out a global survey which suggests that African contributes a high percentage to total global predatory academic practices (PAP) which is blamed on many factors ranging from innocent involvement to intentional fraud.
Whatever the reason may be, we think that it is inimical to the development of higher education in Africa and this has numerous ripple implications.

So OAAD decided to get involved in the battle against this monster pursuing the following objectives to:
i) innovatively raise awareness of PAP among researchers within OAAD’s network in ways that are realistic to the African context,
ii) engage relevant authorities in African universities to ascertain their understanding of how PAP may affect their university ranking, and
iii) enhance awareness within OAAD’s network, the wider academic community and funding agencies on spotting and dissuading PAP. To achieve these goals, OAAD intends to run hybrid workshops and symposiums, conduct direct interviews, develop online contents, and create new organizational unit to perpetuate the awareness of PAP. It is expected that this approach will lead to multidimensional and measurable outcomes which, we believe, would have long-term impact of raising the ranking of African researchers and institutions of higher learning.

INITIATIVE DE CONVERSION DE THEMES DE RECHERCHE EN PRODUITS & SERVICES
2021-11-20 21:00 - 23:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
La recherche comme nous le savons n'est pas une chose aisee. Elle demande beaucoup d'efforts, de perseverance et de courage. Sur le chemin de notre recherche nous sommes generalement confrontes a des obstacles les plus virulents les uns que les autres. Ce chemin parseme d'obstacles est l'occasion pour nous d'exercer notre apprentisage et notre patience; les erreurs y sont alors permises.
L'erreur est souvent consideree comme un echec, qui a son tour est considere comme une faiblesse. Pourtant il s'agit d'une etaient de l'apprentisage necessaire et d'enseignements. Il faut alors apprendre a bien echouer. Le droit a l'erreur est permi.
Comment echouer et bien echouer est une regle a laquelle aucun domaine de la vie ne peut y deroger. Ce principe de vie s'applique non seulement dans la recherche mais plus encore dans l'entrepreneuriat. Rice entrepreneur/chercheur experimente nous partagera son experience et nous apprendra comment rendre l'erreur une source d'apprentisage, comment valoriser l'erreur.
OAAD vous invite a participer a ce seminaire sur l'initiative de conversion des themes de recherche en services et/ou produit ce samedi 20 Novembre 2021 a partir de 21h heure de Beijing sur Zoom.

Initiative De Conversion De Themes De Recherche En Produits & Services
2021-10-23 14:00 - 16:00 (Africa/Lagos) | Zoom
Au fil des ans, de nombreuses personnes ont commencé à accepter l'éducation comme étant un processus qu'une personne traverse pour trouver un emploi, gagner de l'argent, prendre soin d'elle-même et de sa famille. La réalité d'un monde en évolution rapide nous dit que l'éducation telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui ne durera pas longtemps. Sa capacité à sécuriser l'emploi a été considérablement réduite et les personnes les plus instruites ne sont plus toujours les plus utiles dans la société d'aujourd'hui.

Rejoignez-nous pour suivre CURTIS KAKEU qui nous apporte des leçons pratiques de son expérience entrepreneuriale dans son entreprise qui avait commencé comme une recherche académique il y a plusieurs années.Pour plus de détails, voir le flyer.

The world has since moved from the usual economic landscape to a new and more sustainable one that is not built on exploration of natural resources but on utilisation of knowledge generated from research, innovation and technology. To this end, countries and and organizations around the world are continually allocating funds for research but researchers have to prove that they merit the funds before they can get such.
