The name given to the International African American Workforce is a non-profit organization set up to provide supplemental industrial upgrades to underserved countries in Africa. Its home office is in Malvern, Pennsylvania making plans to grow and assemble a workforce made up of largely African Americans and minorities. In a climate of waring nations and the consequential destruction of infrastructure therein, it is easy to overlook those nations suffering from natural disasters and inadequate or failed industrialization. So is the case in Africa, where many countries suffer from archaic piping architecture, low capacity power grid, zero manufacturing and lack of advanced agricultural innovations.
IAAW negotiates industrial projects with a host African country. Terms of doing business with IAAW organization will break down to a portion of land from the host county to be granted to IAAW. The Nation building project would be assigned specific industrial projects in exchange for the land. The solution offered by IAAW organization is a vehicle by which a modernization platform fed by American innovation can be the driving force for nature conscious industrial change in select African countries.
