This strategic plan outlines a program to engineer rural community upliftment programs in Africa. The plan's vision is to bring balanced and inclusive development to Africa's growth by providing access to water, sanitation, and sustainable agriculture for rural communities. It proposes a multi-phase approach to first ensure access to potable water, then improve sanitation and public health, enable agricultural development, and ultimately foster community sustainability and economic growth. Key factors for success include partnerships with ethical companies, technical expertise, financial investment, political support, skills training, and empowering community leaders.

1. A STRATEGIC PLAN TO ENGINEER RURAL COMMUNITY UPLIFTMENT PROGRAMS (RCUP) IN AFRICA

2. Nations have no choice but to be concerned about the welfare of others, not only because of the shared aspirations of all humanity but also because it is in the human benefit in the long run rather than just the short term.

3. This strategic plan is to conceptualize the dynamics of a RCUP and to create infrastructure and sustainability.

4. By the same token because all nations are more economically dependent upon one another than ever before, human understanding must go beyond national boundaries to embrace the international community at large .

5. The purpose of this plan is to request international and local funding.

6. A universal approach to world problems is the only sound basis for world peace .

12. When our minds are clouded by hatred, selfishness, jealousy, and anger, we lose not only control but also our judgement. If we allow love and peace to be dominated by anger, we will suffer the best part of our human intelligence- wisdom, our ability to decide between right and wrong. Along with selfishness, anger is one of the most serious problems facing the world today.

19. The problems we face today cannot be blamed upon one person or cause but are the symptoms of our own past negligence.

20. Technical Understand the challenges Project scheduling Mobilization Resources Security Risk management Reliability engineering Quality management 01

21. Globalisation means that the world is rapidly becoming smaller and more interdependent , because of technology and international trade. As a result, we need one another more than ever before.

22. Technology Complete fluid conveyance solutions providing (Allow fresh water out of the pipe) Pipelines Desalination Reservoirs Modular Sewer Treatment plant (Sanitation) Agriculture (Micro Tunneling) Agricultural (Organic Produce) Packaging 01

29. Life Cycle Dynamics of a RCUP 01 Sanitation Phase Phase 2 Sustainability of health Water Phase 1 Sustainability of Life Agriculture Phase 3 Sustainability of existence Phase 4 Sustainability of continuity

30. Phase 1 Sustainability of Life Water is life Without water there is no life Without a pipe there is no water Without finance there is no pipe Without finance there is no purpose 01

31. Enshrine is the place of keeping something preparing something, putting it to what it is suppose to be restoring it to its formal glory and preserving it .

32. Phase 1 Sustainability of Life Ensuring of potable water Ensuring the conservation of it Efficiency Sustainable Respect it Effectiveness 01

33. Phase 2 Sustainability of Health Even with life the wrong sanitation give rise to cholera, diaree, malaria, hepatitis , Bilharzias and ultimately death. This phase creates an ecological life cycle sytem. Clarifcation of water Sewer produces compost Impacts on agriculture activity Building momentum for utilities (dental, clinic, community services, recreational services) 01

34. Phase 3 Sustainability of Existance Agriculture platform is created Micro tunneling Produce Live stock ROI from investor Creating economy Standard of living increases Markets are created Distribution of consumables Creating jobs Alleviate o f malnutrition, poverty and unemployment 01
