Vanuatu, an island nation which comprises of 83 islands in the South Pacific ocean, about 800 kilometres west of Fiji and 1800 kilometres east of Australia, has reached out to IPADA Initiative, through its Trade Commission in Ghana.
The Vanuatu Trade Commission in conjunction with the African Diaspora Central Bank (ADCB) has rolled out a mega support for IPADA Initiative that will see the contemporary knowledge of Al impacted to over 5 million Africans in the next one year.
H. E. Amb. Prof. Dr. Hugh Aryee, Vanuatu Trade Commissioner to Ghana, while breaking this news via a letter written to the Founder of IPADA Initiative, Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye, stated that the multi+faceted Al project whose goal is to contribute to the development of Al related skill building efforts across Africa, is planned to stretch over a year, to empower Africans to share in the knowledge based standard which Al currently presents to the world.
The laudable knowledge impacting training programme is for 5 million Africans over a period of one year, of which 5000 participants will be trained during the carnival, in what is tagged business unusual, over a 3 day period, to kick start the programme.
Upon completion of the training programme, the participants will be empowered with AKL Lumi parity value of US $100 and be listed on a learning management system for ongoing learning and career opportunities.
This knowledge based skill programme is therefore set to open the entire African continent to a huge new developmental opportunity, that will likely change the face of Africa
The initial training of 5000 participants during the IPADA Carnival will definitely set the ball rolling and open the door to Africans to acquire Al knowledge which ordinarily would have cost each African about a whooping US $1000.
The above is one of the benefits that has started pouring into Africa, from the clarion call of IPADA Initiative platform.
Other benefits include:
An after training offer to participants which enables a benefit of an interest free loan.
Ngos and local governments will be entitled to AKL lumi parity value of USD half a million dollars for community development initiatives.
While the creative industry will be eligible to AKL Lumi parity value of US $2 million grant to produce films, music and other artworks to celebrate African heritage.
IPADA which means the return, is a platform created by Motherland Beckons to bring African people from the Diaspora and Lovers of Africa to Africa, to experience the content of Africa through tourism, cultural exchange and business opportunities.
The Ipada Carnival is a ten day long invitation to people of African descent across the globe to experience an unparalleled cultural renaissance in Lagos, Nigeria, at the 65 acres La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort located at Ibeju-lekki.
