Mario Marques Cabral
Doctor of Project Management
October 7, 2021 “In this best opportunity, I am very pleased to convey my key messages and impressions during my time as a Doctorate student at the School of Business and Economics, Major in Project Management at AIU. In this regard, allow me to briefly tell you what the basic reasons for becoming an AIU student since the beginning of 2018. Before becoming a student at that time, I had prepared myself as best as I could in several years before officially registering as a student. Initially, I received information from a co-worker named Henrique do Rosario at the World Food Program Timor-Leste office around 2013, where my friend was a student at AIU. At that time, he briefly told how to become a“Distance Learning” student along with all the rights and obligations which was very interesting. Then from time to time, I consciously began to get used to taking online courses to deepen my mastery of information and technology online. Because in my opinion at that time, the “Distance Learning” model relied on the Andragogy education system in its learning method, where students had to be able to learn on their own with minimal supervision from a lecturer, meaning that at least they had to have Information & Technology skills in addition to basic skills in the scientific field that a person had. Departing from my basic knowledge at the bachelor’s degree for Marine Science and the master’s degree in Environmental Science requires knowledge and other skills in order to act professionally in an increasingly competitive work. The shorten story, as time goes on and so does some new knowledge and skills achieved, precisely before the end of 2017, I tried to contact the link at the URL [ https://www.aiu.edu/ ] to look for opportunities to become a masters level student for Project Management. At that time, I seriously followed every stage of the existing process however, after fully understanding the opportunities and challenges that existed, and then I finally changed my mind to become a candidate for doctoral level student in the same field of Project Management. And in the end the opportunity came with the response of my email by AIU academics, and after that got a direct phone call in the early morning from Ms. Keren Felisiano (Admissions Counselor). After all the 2 administrative criteria were understood and approved by my family, especially my wife Elisabeth Eny Kususmastuti, I was officially accepted as an AIU student which I love and be proud of according to the letter dated January 9, 2018 signed by the Dean of Admissions (Prof. Dr. Jaime M. Rotlewics). There are several key messages and impressions that I would like to express here, and hopefully they will inspire some people to be happy to join the AIU family as well. One thing that has definitely been my impression all this time and I continue to promote it to my friends is the uniqueness itself where AIU has clearly stated it as a motto that everyone is unique and unrepeatable. ...

“After having my Master’s Degree in 2007 and 2018, I was looking to get doctoral course. During the Pandemic situation in the world by COVID-19, the Atlantic International University (AIU) I found is the best university for fulfilling my dream. AIU is unique providing close assistance to the students to get their dream real. It is convenient to get facilitated like class room teaching. Supportive tutors, professional and knowledgeable advisor as well as academic management team, always guiding students on their better understanding and ideas. Online courses, delivery mechanism, resources and user-friendly student pages of AIU are excellent to assist the students around the world. All the pages of AIUstudent section are with full of resources, guidelines, examples and tutorials which helped me to understand without lots of queries to the tutors. The tutors and advisors are quick respondent and helpful to assist by providing references and necessary materials to students. Non-disturbing pages, audio-visual materials and subjects enabled me to accomplish my course within the timeframe. Really I feel, AIU exists as an institution of experiential learning and nontraditional education at a distance. There are no classrooms and attendance is not required. What makes AIU unique is the combination of a student “self-instruction” approach (with guidance), the collaborative development of a curriculum that is unique to each student, and the flexibility of time and place of study. This provides what we consider to be, the ideal learning environment. It is created with the purpose of satisfying individual needs and providing personal development for each student. I was so excited because immediate opening of my student page after admission in AIU, the same day I could review the course and fill necessary requirement of university. All the phases were well designed and appropriate.... Read full text:

An african best optimistic magical recovery approach to COVID-19

Odhiambo Swa Makaduol | Bachelor's with a major in Sociology | Part 2/2

This calls for a close fostering and building trust among all partners to attract an open investment of both time and money. Financial constraints is a major blow to yield an African homegrown solutions to achieve a COVID-19 socio-economic recovery. Amref Health Africa, Africa governments and partners must seriously make it a priority to seek or influence Direct Funding that will allow communities realize proper funding anchored on trust and open, transparent communication and engagement for local communities benefit to support and enhance development and implementation of strategic action that will lead to stronger communityled free COVID-19 securitybased on ethical consideration for community-based participatory COVID-19 recovery in Africa. The need to establish trust in 47 counties in Kenya is urgently called for at this early time with urgent and serious consideration from the governments, Amref Health Africa, World Bank, UN, UNDP, IMF, African Development Bank, Africa Union, UNICEF, UNHabitat, USAID, and other partners between indigenous communities and Amref Health Africa and all players and urgent need to work on relevant transformed policies and fundamentally not on their local constitution but the UN International human right charter which are functional in all the commonwealth nations to establish mutually functional grassroot based Village Council for Information Engagement policies,legislations and literatures meant to create a COVID- 19 recovery and relevant to a WHO and UN COVID-19 Interventions general guidelines, global preparedness to fight COVID-19 pandemic around the world. In deed, this is also a magnificent period to engage indigenous communities in Africa with their diversified cultural and traditional norms to be funded by or through Amref Health Africa, World Bank, IMF, UN, UNICEF, UNEP and other development players towards an Africa socioeconomic COVID-19 recovery and sustainable development to help these indigenous communities develop and mobilize policies and guidelines that will promote new-tech , traditional knowledge, cultural norms, human rights, and use of natural resources among their people and also to create equitable balances of power between community members, governments and all partners in order to support and promote trusting and equitable relationship and service delivery at all levels

COVID-19 recovery methods for Africa 1. Africa countries governments establish social welfare protection policies including liquidity to SMES, Households and Informal workers . 2. In partnership, Africa governments, international community and NGOs should design and develop progressive social protection coverage for health, investments and entrepreneurship to strengthen societal and economic resilience reducing vulnerability to external shocks in trade and commodity prices through regional integration and digitalization. 3. There is an urgent need to develop a post COVID-19 resilient economic development policy recovery with Africa governments and international community partners acting together for accelerating transformation to realize sustained economic welfare gains including helping households, communities and counties to strengthen coping measures that reduce losses thus allowing for a faster recovery and investing more funds to indigenous communities adapt to and mitigate the effects of future shocks. 4. Amref Health Africa and other players to start negotiating with Africa governments to reduce taxes imposed to larger and smaller companies to influence more exports rather more imports and the same to be imposed on digital technology appliances to grow our local companies to sustain employment and increase revenue. 5. On behalf of African countries, let Amref Health Africa and partners to start an international negotiations that will see African governments are exempted from paying the large accumulated debts, and offers to them free access to Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) now and not tomorrow from world Bank, IMF, African Development Bank among others —we start a new life together.

6. Mapping the pandemic effect and the way forward legislative reviews and policy reconsiderations are important to grow innovation, productivity ,good job creation, take advantage of scale opportunities and encouraging investments locally. 7. It is time for Africa people and government to move quickly to stay ahead of more coming COVID-19 risks while achieving an African food value chains, raising on-farm productivity, lowering the costs of cost of production and distribution to cities and small towns, facilitating private investments in logistics and processing and most importantly, successfully implementing appropriate adaptation policies for climate change which will create and inspire a kilimobiashara life to vulnerable regions or areas or indigenous communities, and I am very much convinced that if Africa people and governments and partners adapt this important resilience factor free from corruption and impunity then definitely poverty reduction is going to be realized among the indigenous communities in Africa. 8. Africa must undergo an ambitious reform involving the indigenous communities directly reforms that will support job creations , strengthen equitable growth , protect the vulnerable and contribute to environmental sustainability going forward towards a stronger recovery across the African continent. 9. There must be enough money to expand and increase rural electricity supply to households in Africa countries, an increase of around 40% and an increased 20% to complete in the global economy. For the purpose of prioritizing COVID-19 response and recovery, I strongly believe USA, UN, IMF, UNDP, World bank, Africa Development Bank and all other international community partners including Amref Health Africa should start a quick negotiation on behalf of Africa people and governments that funds be made available to electricify health facilities, education, institutions, business markets and non-farm business and to support regulators and utilities struggling with the unfolding impacts of the pandemic in all African countries with aim to provide demand –driven assistance companies, investors, and industry associations aimed at ensuring business continuity mobilizing relief funding and advocating for government policies that recognizes energy access as an essential in Africa. This is only happening in Nigeria, South Africa and West Africa.

10. COVID-19 and Climate Change are the existential challenges of the century, making it critical that all recovery efforts are climate resilient and contribute to greener development pathways in this regard, among other aspects, additional attention to climate change adaptations is warranted and a more urgent horizon to food security that would see many African countries going real kilimo-biashara production with enough funds. 11. It is also very important to improve investment climate indicators so that Africa countries can attract a large volume of private investment where it takes longest period and expensive licensing to start business to offset the impact of fiscal consolidation efforts. 12. Urgently, there is need for mutual partnership of serious coalitions to build the capacity of indigenous communities and the target groups such as Artist organizations, Civil Society organizations, Commununity based organizations, Faith Based Organization, Elders Organizations, Health workers, Workers Union, Students organizations, Youth and Women groups, leading health and research institutions in curbing and recovering from the pandemic disease in African countries or we shall perish from COVID-19.

Technical challeges imposing risks to COVID-19 recovery in Africa • Lack of inclusive community approach to the elderly vaccines. • Failure to adopt civil society organizations, Artist organizations, CDOs, FBOs, Workers union, NGOs inclusivity to reach indigenous communities for COVID-19 awareness and vaccination purposes. • Many G7 and G20 countries withholding vaccine drugs to reach Africa. • Many drugs in Africa have been destroyed in Africa due to expiry dates. • Poverty privilege and cultural imbalances may cause Africans to suffer most from COVID-19 impacts. • Over reliance on international countries may fail African health and socio-economic recovery from COVID-19. • Commonology diseases among Africans may widely expose Africans to COVID-19 risk if not controlled. • Lack of a serious informed resilience and recovery community /citizenry based capacity buildings and strengthening from national and county governments and partners needed. The End

Call to African countries economic growth

Aliyu Adam Mikail | Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Economic growth In this paper we are going to look at economic growth before we come to talk about its opposite. Economic growth is very important to the development of every country, because the stronger the country’s economy is the more developed that country will be, so it’s the economic growth that determines whether a country is rich or poor. Apart from that when a country’s economy has grown then that country will be rich and will enjoy the benefit of that economy, for example countries like England, France, Russia among others are rich because their economy is freely grown, while third world countries are poor because of their inability to have their economy grown, so economic growth is very important. However, it’s something that determines how much respect a country will enjoy from other world countries. Before I go differ I will like to define what economic growth is all about, as the name indicates economic growth is all about the development of country’s economy, for example when every sector of a country is growing smoothly especially financial and production sectors which are major drivers of economy in a country then that country enjoy its economy, because it will have job opportunities for its citizens and poverty will be eradicated in that country, and we can say that there is economic growth in that country. Even though there are other specialists that determine whether economy is grown or not, but what I have just enumerated are some of the major things that are considered when determining whether the economy of a country is grown or not.

Lack of economic growth Lack of economic growth is when a country has a problem in terms of production and financial sector, that is how the finance of such country is managed then that country will be in a very difficult situation, and when a country fail to be a producer and become consumer then that country is at the risk of the opposite of economic growth that is lack of economic growth. I think this is true when one looks at African countries and Nigeria in particular; because in Nigeria there are only few things that are produced in the country, most of the things that are used in the country are imported from other countries, this is what is causing negative effect on the growth of the Nigerian economy, because any country that is unable to be a producer then that country is in serious problem because of these factors: • For example when a country is exporting its products it means that those who come to that country in order to buy its products and export to their country will have to exchange their money with the currency of the country from which they buy such goods. But in Nigeria the reverse is the case because everything is imported, because we do know that dollar is a global currency we have to change Naira into Dollar before we buy certain goods from other countries, so that is why the value of our currency is always decreasing. We do know that the value of a currency plays a very important role, it’s something that is taken into consideration when deciding whether the economy of certain country is growing or not, so lack of production affects Nigeria negatively because of what I have just mentioned.

• Apart from that, financial sector too plays a vital role in the growth of a country’s economy. Because this is something that is evident when one looks at how government and other financial institutions managed the finances of Nigeria, poor decisions are made with regard to the financial sector, so that is why we find it difficult to develop as the nation, may be this problem is happening because of lack of those who are specialized in terms of economy, or maybe we have those who specialized in the economy is just that they are not given an opportunity to come and play their role in developing the economy of the country, for example leaders too are to be blamed for lack of the economic growth in the country, because they take poor decisions which jeopardize the economy may be is because of their lack of knowledge on how economy is supposed to be developed or something like that, so that is why we face lack of economic growth. If you take a look at the former president of Nigeria Late Umaru Musa ‘Yar Aduwa he will serve as a good example, because as soon as he came to power he took certain decisions regarding the economy of Nigeria, and those decisions work within a very short time. So from this we can deduce that lack of leaders with sufficient knowledge of how economy is supposed to run is part of the problem that makes our economy stagnant. Economic growth is something that can only take place when several majors are put in place, but if a country like ours is difficult to implement such majors then it will lead to the lack of development of the economy, because it will never witness huge economic growth, it can only dream of having economic growth.

When we look at countries like Australia, China, Japan and others they work hard and put in place measures that brought them to the state they are at the moment, for example why it is that economy of China is growing very fast? The answer is known by almost everybody, because nowadays it’s difficult to find a country where Chinese’s goods is not bought, so this means that they are developed and they are witnessing economic growth, because they prioritize production, as you know production is the backbone of any economic growth, any country that can be proud of having economic growth then such country is producing goods in large quantity and export to other countries. This means that if third world countries were to develop they must ensure that they produce certain things that are needed by other countries of the world, but as long as they will continue to be dependent, to be reliant on what will be produced in other countries then they cannot have economic development that they are hoping, so large part of economic growth is always attributed to mass production, that is producing different things that various countries are in need of. Nigeria can produce many goods as it endowed with many natural resources such as Crude Oil, Gold, Diamond, Iron, Uranium, Nickel, Copper, Coal etc. below is the Nigerian map with endowed natural resources and their location

Due to these more than 30 mineral resources Nigeria endowed with but it over relied in one thing that is crude oil, because crude oil many countries are in need of, many countries are exporting crude oil from Nigeria on a cheapest price, and we import petrol, diesel, gas on expensive prices from the countries we sold oil to, because we can’t refine, our refineries are not working, that is why the petrol price is always increasing in Nigeria, and it’s a well known by everybody that these petrol, diesel, gas, kerosene and many more are refined from this crude oil, which is a big problem in Nigeria lack of refining, because it plays a vital role to the lack of economic growth in Nigeria. For example when a motorist buy petrol on expensive price so the transport fare will be expensive and that will definitely lead to the increase in almost everything, according to Yvonne Mhango, an analyst at renaissance: “The impact of the petrol price hikes could go beyond simply pushing up transport costs. It is also expected to affect the cost of producing goods and services. In particular, the prices of food, clothing and footwear, furnishings, as well as housing and utility costs may tick up on the back of the scrapping of the petrol price subsidy. In addition to higher petrol prices, the cost of producing electricity from petrol-powered generators is also expected to rise”.

So that is why the increase in petrol is big problem to the most Nigerians, because it affects the development of the economy in the country. If this problem is to be eradicated government should pay attention on rehabilitating the existing refineries and constructing the additional refineries that had been proposed. Furthermore, unemployment is a major cause of lack of economic growth in Nigeria, and it’s a known fact that unemployment has a root from lack of job opportunities, because if there is no job opportunity then definitely you will find a situation whereby there are jobless people in the society or within country. And unemployment is the major cause of the crises; it’s the crises that help to the lack of economic growth, because when people have experiences and they have no job, then there is likelihood for them to engage in stealing or armed robbery. Because of the lack of job opportunities in Nigeria that is why we have so many crises, so many insurgents, armed robbers, kidnappers etc. According to National Bureau of Statistics, by its statistic on December, 2020: “The jobless rate in Nigeria rose to 33.3% in the fourth quarter, more than half of labor force are unemployed or underemployed”. Job opportunities are limited to the growth of the economy in Nigeria. So government has to play a vital role in order to come up with job opportunities, by boosting agricultural sector, since Nigeria is blessed with good soil for agriculture we crops many resources, we have cotton, rubber, sugarcane, millet, rice, beans etc. so government has to come up with technical and vocational training to the farmers, since many of our farmers are uneducated and to give them a funds and properties that support them to carry out their work of farming successfully. According to scholars the following majors cause unemployment in Nigeria as well as other developing countries:

“Neglect of agricultural sector, rural-urban migration, wrong impression about technical or vocational education or training, corruption with its attendant grave embezzlement, rapid population growth, low economic growth and activities, low investment, leadership and managerial problem, lack of political will, outdated school curriculum making Nigerian graduates unemployable, poverty, lack of adequate youth development programs, increase in the supply of educated manpower as a result of producing more graduates than available jobs and more painfully, the gradual collapse of manufacturing sector (Adesina, 2013; Salami, 2013; Nwanguma, et al. 2012; Adebayo, 1999; Alanana, 2003; Echebiri, 2005; Ayinde, 2008; Morphy, 2008; Awogbenle & Iwuamadi, 2010; Okeke, 2011; Njoku & Ihugba, 2011 and Anyadike, et al. 2012)”.

Nigeria has many sectors that need to be boosted, but at least government has to boost agricultural sector first. Apart from that, economic growth of most third world countries is hampered by the loan they have taken from developed countries, mostly when poor countries go to developed countries for loan, before such loan is given certain conditions are laid down for that country to adhere to, and those conditions that are laid down mostly affect the economy of the recipient county, but it doesn’t mean that developed countries don’t take loan, No! They take loan but they use it judiciously in order to boost their economy further, for example even America takes loan, the loan that America has taken is huge is something that I can’t quantify, but you can’t say that America is underdeveloped because it took loan No! Because even if such loan is taken it will be used in order to further boost their economy, but in African countries even if the loan is taken is mostly embezzled by the corrupt politicians, so that is a big problem especially that my country Nigeria is facing, because currently it’s estimated that the loan taken by Nigeria is estimated to be more than 30 trillion, and the money taken as the loan were not put to good use, rather the money was mostly misappropriated and mismanaged by corrupt politicians and civil servants. So that is why for a country to have economic growth then I think that the only thing to be accorded priority is to be producer of a certain goods, and after such goods are produced then they are to be exported to other countries.

Polishing my capacities and skills to obtain my Academic Degree at AIU

By Dr. Rosa Hilda Lora M. Advisor at AIU | rosa@aiu.edu

We have carried out all the corresponding procedures to apply as a student to Atlantic International University (AIU). The first thing we think about is: we have to learn. We can’t live listening to everything that is said without knowing what is science? And —what is not? “Only when we know that we can trust the research of others can we free ourselves from those who by controlling our beliefs wish to control our life.” (Booth and others, 2017, p. 26) What do we have to do to obtain the knowledge and assessments necessary to finish what we are now starting? According to the time it has been since we stopped studying, what is new in the methods of learning? How much new is there in science? Knowing offers us freedom. “We will be different for having done research, because we will be freer to choose what we want to be.” (Booth and others, 2017, p. 28) In this year, UNESCO began a research project to determine and work with what the university level needs for the world in which we live and are building. You can see the first stage in:

Thinking beyond the limits- Outlook on the Futures of Higher Education to 2050 —25 May 2021 https://www.iesalc. unesco.org/2021/05/26/informesobre- el-futuro-de-la-educacionsuperior- preve-respuestas-colectivasy- holisticas-a-los-retos- world https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ ark:/48223/pf0000377529 We have to have a clear path to reach the goal: our academic degree. What we have evident is that the basis of what we have to do has its main seat in reason; that there are skills to develop. So we think: where do those skills come from? What are they? How to use them? Skills come from capacities that we as human beings have. What is the difference between one and the other? What are the capacities? What are the skills?

The capacities are the faculties that human beings have in its reason for being. In the case of human beings: all the possibilities that their organs have to carry out a certain function. In human beings the capacities are of the vegetative, sensitive and rational order. The capacities of the vegetative order are the following: feeding, growth and reproduction, among others. The capacities of the sensitive order: the ability to change places; psychomotor skills. The capacities of the rational order: the will, the intelligence. Skills are the talents you have to do things. Therefore, those talents will come from the capacities that we have. Talents or abilities can be developed. Human development occurs according to the World Health Organization (WHO) according to a certain number of skills that belong to:

1. Self-knowledge. Assertive communication, empathy, critical thinking and creative thinking. Assertive communication is approaching the other by mentioning the points to clarify and listen to. Empathy is putting yourself in the place of others. Critical thinking is identifying the positive and the negative of what you think. Creative thinking is thinking to generate positive situations. 2. Conflicts and emotions management. Find solutions for mutual benefit. 3. Emotions management. Search for healthy emotional life. Today as skills in today’s society we have to learn and unlearn quickly and seek emotional balance in the face of so many existing conflicts generated by and together with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are already in a new mutation of COVID-19; now it comes from Africa. Reportedly a more aggressive mutation than previous ones. From what we have seen of capacities and abilities we realize that there are precise ways to learn.

Given the global situation in the face of COVID-19, we have to look for the best hours from our emotional skills to review the documents we need and divide the tasks in such a way that we can feel better. We are going to see the elements that enter into the rational capacities and the skills that are convenient to develop. In the capacities of rational order we have to develop the following skills: 1. Analyze 2. Establish analogies 3. Infer 4. Generalize 5. Evaluate 6. Express At AIU you have the opportunity of an open Curriculum Design; the student can elaborate the study plan that he wants or the university suggests a program. You also have a month to prepare each subject. The skills to develop of the rational order, when we identify what we have to do in the elaboration of our work, it becomes easier. For rational skills we have already traveled the path of skills corresponding to emotional rational: I want to study, I want to learn, Ii want my academic degree.

I ask myself and I answer:
1. Topic: I am studying _____.
2. Question: Because I want to find out who/how/why ____.
3. Rational justification: To understand how/why/what _____________________.

(Booth and others, 2017, p. 68) Let us now see what are the rational abilities to perform a job after emotional abilities? To analyze is to check to see if these documents will be useful for my research. Having the title of our work to develop, we see that the first thing is to look for the information about the concepts mentioned there and in the order that they appear in the title. A rational skill is that we have to learn to express ourselves. The easiest way is: according to the order of the concepts of the title of the work, go writing down the citations of the same. Never leave it for later because with all the information we find, going back to see where those important concepts were is to duplicate the activity. You have to write down all the documents because later to make the bibliography it is difficult to collect everything that we work on. Regardless of the type of work we do, if we have the quotes of all the concepts, we can do an essay, a multiplechoice work, a monograph, a Thesis Proposal or a Final Thesis. The skills of reason include knowing how to express ourselves: that means developing our work. It becomes easy if I read each quote and explain what I understood. In a research work we can use verbal data and visual data. The verbal data are the words and the visual data are the graphs. Visual data should be presented for complex information using number tables or word tables, bar graphs, pie charts, volume charts, or concept maps. We have to remember that all visual presentations must be identified and numbered in progressive order within the job. The Cover and Bibliography are aspects of rules and will be those that have been provided to me at AIU. The introduction of any work is done at the end and means: what am I going to do, what scientists have worked on the issue, what problems have there been and what do I intend to solve. After having done all the work and applied the skills that come from reason, the introduction becomes easy. Important recommendation to make the presentation of a work, whatever it may be: a) Start with an appointment or an important event. b) Apply a general statement of science. c) Start with a little story. What to avoid is: dictionary definitions, the one we will examine here, or spectacular quotes.

To finish the work, you must present a conclusion that is to respond to everything that you set out to demonstrate. Our conclusion will be everything we understood from the quotes we already worked on and what we found in comparison with the facts. When I am asked to make an application of my work that is local, national and international it means the rational ability to evaluate and generalize. After the Recommendations you can add a “coda” to your work at AIU.

Researchers also end their work with what is known as a “coda”; “A coda can be an appropriate quote, an anecdote or just a striking figure of speech, a final way in which the introduction and the conclusion are communicated.” (Booth and others, 2017, p. 276) You have all the way to go to do a good job of learning and acquiring your degree at AIU. Nowadays we have to know to be able to build the life we want and avoid being manipulated by everything that the media offers and those who know little about science. You will achieve your academic degree and the knowlege you need!
