REASONS FOR JOINING OUR HOLISTC MISSION
1. RESPONDING TO A NEED
We respond to the critical need for:
• Entrepreneurs and small businesses seeking to export products and services,
• The diaspora and women's associations are willing to benefit from financial incentives to create sustainable jobs that impact the quality of life in the communities.
• So far, CCBD epitomizes and focuses on workable development frameworks for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and beyond, namely chiefly goals #2 on zero hunger, #8 on decent work and economic growth, #9 on industry, innovation, and infrastructure, #12 on responsible consumption and production, and #17 on partnerships for the goals.
2. WE SUPPORT WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS.
We recognize the role of women in the economy (especially in LDCs). Women contribute significantly to poverty alleviation and economic growth by daily trading primarily food, most of the time in harsh conditions.
Women are denied access to banking services, and they lack basic information needed to improve their activities or enter the export market.They also face discrimination and difficulties in acquiring and/or launching their own firms.
3. AID SUPPORTS AND ENTERTAINS POVERTY...
Every unhappy country is unhappy in its own way, but all are alike in their inability to produce equitable growth.
• Public aid is the main cause of underdevelopment, economic yokes, and poverty.
• However, the actual globalized economy cannot function for the benefit of all without international solidarity and cooperation.
We suggest the following:
• CCBD encourages ethical investors to take measured risks in LDCs and go global to create and/or enhance wealth.
• We are launching an international fund to facilitate diaspora investment back in the homeland. It means exploring the opportunities to mobilize between $1 and $50 million in short- and long-term collateral, loan guarantees, and/or direct loans to finance exports.
4. Supporting the economy through job creation
We provide incentives by providing access to credit and other instruments. Achieving such a mission will contribute to better food security, vital job creation, and poverty reduction.
Healthy agriculture is one of the main drivers of a country's economic growth. CCBD encourages chemical pesticide-free agriculture and strengthens agribusiness value chains.
5. ADDING VALUE AND TRANSFORMING THE INFORMAL SECTOR
We introduce an ethical reflection of the real economy that deals essentially with non-financial assets for creating and adding value to shareholders: no derivatives, no gambling, no structured products! TFE pays heed to a fair ROI.
Join us because we are a continuously learning organization. Our framework integrates lessons learned in conferences and side events on business strategies for entrepreneurs and top business executives.
We participate proactively in a series of workshops about finance and banking, especially at the Rendezvous of the International Trading Conference held by Swiss Global Enterprise, IMD, Serv, and Credit Suisse in Lausanne. We receive valuable inputs from experts like Luc Ferry, former Minister of Education of France, writer, and philosopher.
In its publication of October 2, 2013, the Institut français d’études démographiques (INED) indicates that by the year 2050, the world population will reach 9.733 billion inhabitants.
• The stage of 6 billion inhabitants was reached in 1999, yet it took only 12 years to reach 7 billion in 2011.
• Today, the world population is 7.141 billion.
• In 2050, the DRC will become the 9th most populated country on the planet, with 182 million inhabitants.
• We must plan for infrastructure as well as ways and means to ensure everyone's right to happiness and well-being
JOIN US BECAUSE OF OUR PARADIGMS
The person who knows "how" will always have a job. The person who knows "why" will always be his boss. Diane Ravitch.
Idjwi Island is in Lake Kivu, 15 minutes from Bukavu, in the province of South Kivu.
Nations are longing for full employment and the eradication of poverty. Despite the efforts made by philanthropists and developed countries to alleviate poverty and help poor countries end their growing poverty, these programs have generated many ill effects, resulting in emigration when people try to escape misery in their homelands.
It is obvious that charitable contributions alone cannot develop the economy; you cannot develop an economy with microcredits.
We should enhance entrepreneurship, but lack of funding is the problem. No funding means: unemployment, immigration, "Lampedusa," wars, corruption, insecurity, etc.
Ideas like this foster programs aimed at job creation. It is the most visible way to eradicate hunger and poverty. But despite its tremendous potential in natural and human resources, the DRC is experiencing endemic, escalating poverty and unemployment.
JOIN US BECAUSE IMAGES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
French Catholic priest Henri Marie Joseph Goués, also known as Abbé Pierre, lived from 1912 to 2007.
One is considerably more sensitive to the pain of others after having experienced it themselves.
JOIN US because we spot the fundamental niches and turn them into business possibilities.
• People with local roots who speak the dialect and are familiar with both the local and partner cultures are those who devised the CCBD plan.
• This is a purchase that readily pays for itself.
There are numerous chances and niches that can be researched.
For instance, in the DR Congo, there is little added value in the primary and secondary sectors.
• Raw materials, wildlife, plants, land, and hydrology are becoming the targets of unethical bartering and bad investment strategies.
• Despite its tremendous potential in natural and human resources, the DRC is experiencing endemic escalating poverty: chronic famines, diseases, and epidemics linked by bad, poor, and insufficient infrastructure, very limited access to electricity and clean water, etc., and unemployment.
