Doctor of Psychology
September 17, 2021 “My experience at AIU has been a positive one. There are a number of reasons why, which I will outline below: 1. The course was laid out in a way that I could fit in my studies around my schedule and therefore allowed me to set the pace of my study. 2. The course structure required me to assess the most necessary modules to fit my study needs, which of course had to be verified by the University. I was then able to really focus the study according to my career experience and future direction. 3. When I had administrative challenges, the tutor was available and responded with understanding in a timely manner. Some feedback on the challenges I experienced with AIU: 1. At the beginning of my study, not all costs were clearly laid out in a logical format or easily accessible, such as graduation fees and academic transcript and administration fees, where I had believed that these would be covered in the study fees. This is usually the case in other tertiary institutions. 2. At times, there was insufficient feedback on the details of my course work, which did not provide me the opportunity to work on gray areas. 3. There was not always a particular understanding of the issues that I experienced when accessing the online platform and there were times when responses were either delayed or misunderstood. Having said that, these challenges were overcome. ... Read full text: https://www.aiu.edu/Testimonialdetail. html?ItemID=1762&rcid=73&pcid=63&cid=73

“I would like to first express my gratitude for the opportunity accorded to me by Atlantic International University to be able to advance my studies and thus improve my understanding in both academic and contemporary world. I must say the eighteen (18) months spent during my studies and AIU has been one of the most educative times of my life. I had the opportunity to interrogate circumstances surrounding today’s world not only to realize my academic advancement but also the exposure to different subjects given by my tutors through assignments gave me the room to research in many aspects both on project management, effects of poverty, climate change, SDGs and other aspects of our life today. The method used in AIU’s Andragogy education model has potential to help many people realize their academic goals while working and even taking care of families. I feel like a successful example of the model. Even with challenges I have been able to finish my degree program as I also find time to work and take care of my family. During my study at AIU I was also privileged to interact with a number of academic personnel presenting different subjects through videos lectures and in the process learnt a lot from them. I also must say that through a number of books recommended by my academic supervisor and tutors I was able to learn from some of the authors the practicability of some of the projects that has always sounded more like theories in the past. I draw such case study learnt form the book by Muhammad Yunus -‘Building Social Business’. Through this book I projected myself living through the experience of the author, relating the experiences of the people his ideologies was directed to uplift and pull out of poverty with my own community. Indeed the leaning process has given me many dimensions to problem solving in today’s world. In conclusion, I would like to say that I believe the knowledge acquired during my Project Management ...

An african best optimistic magical recovery approach to COVID-19

Odhiambo Swa Makaduol | Bachelor's with a major in Sociology | Part 1/2

Key to COVID-19 recovery approach in Africa by Africans and partners, the most optimistic fundamental agenda must evolve from African indigenous communities emanating from the villages upwards in order to realize this serious battle with COVID-19 socio-economic challenges where serious inclusive coalitions or partnership involving governments, artists organizations, civil society organizations, faithbased organizations, elders organizations, workers unions, health workers, private sectors federations, academic institutions, youth and women groups, students organizations or clubs, and leading health and research institutions, helping in curbing problems of under-development, underinvestments, and inadequate health, and health related factors solutions for Africa within Amref Health Africa Initiative’s mission powered by bridging gaps between communities, mobilizing advocacy for health systems reform and solutions to an improved business plans among disadvantaged people in the communities for an improved socio-economic services delivery and a well-informed investments mobilization. And to cause this agenda happen with ease for both short and long term solutions, primary key factors like geographical factors, forest and water source factors, cultural factors, and religion factors must be considered and home-grown to aid the process maximally to create and inspire a new Real Africa Now from COVID-19 attack implications.

Then, how can this work promptly with Amref Health Africa, Africa governments, international community and all partners under the agenda -theme: Real Africa Now. About Real Africa Now, “From Community-Nothing to Empire-Be your Own Empire,’’ will aid Village Council for Informed Engagements, and develop skills needed for work and collaboration with both local and international partners creating different social-economic for knowledge gain as the first key step and it is believed that through establishing a Village Council for Informed Engagement teams around the country’s villages, a true community-collaborative instruments to prepare local leaders and citizens in all communities through the experience of addressing the basic needs of local communities, build capacity, inform local decision makers, involve locals to offer logistics, share information, keep community members up to date, host community workshops, schedule face to face meetings, deliver presentations, newsletters, easy to read publications, local languages publications and formal and informal community meetings, gatherings and more fundamental, community events will provide greater opportunities held most frequently and spread over the country as an industry. From here a new branded community is created for being present in a community for developing ways to communicate with a community, listening to community members and understanding, and respecting inventions, discoveries and new techs within the local culture and history, a practice which has never been tested in Africa countries since struggle for africas’ nations independence ended.

This trend will help the African countries easily realize the long lasting need to recover from COVID-19 pandemic impacts on socio-economic lives in Africa by making organizations, companies and governments spent their time with people in these ways which will demonstrate sincere interests and inspire in working with communities, and not just in them as had been a long time case. Definitely, it will help to build trust, earn courage, respect and commitment and establish tangible relationships that are long term commitments with people of Africa and Africa as a continent under the sub-theme: “From Community- Nothing to Empire-Be your Own Empire”. COVID-19 is a big opportunity to a re-branded African continent, an opportunity of its own time which we must accept his challenges and rebrand our future. This will involve a number of elements for consideration locally. Thus, many elements eg. ongoing communication, understand diversity of local culture, are important to develop a highly impactful futuris COVID-19 recovery, and strong health investments in the community and investments of time before, during and after engaging the communities is very much essential and is encouraged to be the protocol for a success story of to be the most transformed Africa. From the pandemic we have learned that an extended presence in a community will bridge the devastated social burden gaps and help to develop communication pathways, create wide opportunities to listen, and help the Village Council for Informed Engagement on behalf, the governments learn, understand and appreciate the diversity of an African culture helpful in fighting the escalation and threat of COVID-19 impacts to the life of African people in our communities.

Session participants will identify physical presence in a community as central to nurturing meaningful socio-economic transformation unique to the past Africa before and during COVID-19 attack. Actually, majority readers and listeners will agree with me that spending most of the time or at time in the community and beginning and end of every event or trip or engagement can provide opportunities to attend community meetings and cultural events, medical camps, learn about issues important to the community away from results of handling meetings, events or conferences in Lillian towers, engage in open and honest dialogue about improving business or investments plans among women and youths, find solution against COVID-19 challenges to local communities and mobilizing community-based or community-focused policies and legislation-making among local leaders and local institutions that will create a Real African continent Smart Living –Smart Life –Smart People living a “Free COVID-19 Life” after experiencing a global COVID-19 threat to lives. Why must Amref Health Africa and partners go the Real Africa Now way under the principle concept of resolve challenging issues by ourselves in the community, country, state, nation and continent. For this idea to change Africa completely and with ease, we call for villagedom Resources Centers establishment under devolved system to be created in all counties in Kenya with enough resource allocation directly supervise from the central government through digital governance system and definitely socio-economic imbalances will ease in Africa within 10 years to come.

Activities at Villagedom Resource Centres • Free Global Digital Interconnections • Cultural and Artistic Activities • Publications both local and international • Discovery Talents • County and State Activities • Local Cultural Events and Promotions • Backbones School of Culture and Traditions • Internship and Fellowship Centers • Activities with International Focus • Evaluating and Remodeling African Culture • Promoting Grant Future Activities N/B: This will give rise to the establishment of the Arts and Science Innovative Council for Informed Engagement Platforms/ Authority at national level to bridge the general activities. Real Africa Now missions about a free AfroCOVID-19 life acceptance through partners, calls us to teach, preach, innovate, pursue research and serve with full awareness the needs and interests to serve humanity, humility and humanocracy at all times. This is because over 75% of Africans have deep economic needs, and some are much disadvantaged and marginalized. I believe, Real Africa Now as a precipitated new idea for Africans, global partners must address the common problems bedeviling the lives of the indigenous communities through evidence-based, Solutionsfocused, and capacity-building to ease socio-economic burdens and resolve the many fundamental inequalities paving ways to COVID-19 to become a big threat to all of us today. This can be easily achieved through churches, CSOs, NGOs, artists organizations, FBOs, workers unions, Private sectors, Social welfare groups/CBOs, Elders groups, as well as devolve enough bulky resources to these organizations which has never taken place in African countries since the struggle for independence erupted in African nations. Through the themes of Amref Health Africa’s advocacy mobilizations and communities bridging gaps, frequent innovative events including Arts and heritage cultural festivals be more emphasized to cause more reaching out to our communities through a reach, array of cultural opportunities of arts and communities education awareness about challenges and opportunities caused by the epidemic to African culture and development agenda since 2020.

All members from the community will be inspired to connect their culture, tradition, believe and a renewed life learning to act physical learning opportunities that reflect a completely new and future life that will promote meaningful reflections and actions among African people. Indeed such social interaction opportunities will transform African today’s generation to be developed into leaders who can help boost the Village Council for Informed Engagements to realize a complete COVID-19 recovery and development agenda for African countries. Indeed, learning local history, culture, beliefs and traditions and try to operate respectively within the African diversified community cultural norms are considered the best way and means of going an African home-grown initiatives to make Africa own the process and the means and also fundamental building blocks among African communities and nations or governments for designing developing and implementing policy-based or legislationbased decision through engaging communities. Through this process, the Village Council for Informed Engagement will be a cornerstone success foundation to an African COVID-19 transformation and the governments, NGOs and corporate sectors will maximally depend on them to realize the COVID- 19 opportunities dream in Africa’s efforts to learn and practice the local cultural norms and skills collectively in Africa, is the most fundamental means to save Africa from being wiped out by the disease threat and other detrimental factors including poverty and underdevelopment and lack of trust among African leaders and people. Adequate funding environment must be created, opened and prevail to African countries free from any international negative barriers to enable Africa build a full capacity power to fight COVID-19.

Summits and Submits

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

We listen and hear that a Summit for this and a Summit for the other. First of all: What is a Summit? A Summit is an international conference of Heads of State and Government with the aim of solving global problems. At the moment we are facing two global meetings: that of the Group of 20 (G-20), in Rome, Italy and that of the United Nations (UN), in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, with the objective of climate change. The goal of the G-20 conference is to combat the global financial crisis. Who make up the G-20? The G-20 is made up of industrialized countries and emerging countries. The conferences were always held with Ministers of Finance and Presidents of Central Banks. Heads of States were present at this meeting in October 2021. The G-20 was created in 1999 to solve the financial crisis of the 1990s; the first meeting was in Germany. The countries that make up the group are: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, Australia, Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Argentina, South Africa, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil and the European Union. The Italian Summit aims to create measures that boost the economy and avoid a depression like the one in the 1930s. The Italy Summit focused on the 1992 Climate Change and the 2015 Paris Agreement.

The agreements were: The roof maintenance of global warming at 1.5 Degrees The investment of 100,000 million dollars to help emerging countries invest in policies that respect the environmental commitments. Regarding the use of coal, there was no consensus to set it to 2050 according to the Paris Agreement; they were in that it will depend on the situation of each country. Regarding health: improve its conditions. Vaccinate against covid-19 to 40% of the world's population by the end of 2021 and to 70% by 2022. They agreed to the proposal of the organization for economic cooperation and development (oecd) to impose a minimum tax of 15% on international companies. The increase of biological diversity and the protection of cultural monuments. Let’s see what the United Nations Summit in Glasgow is. The united nations summit for climate change (COP26) to be held from October 31 to November 12, 2021. This is the twenty-sixth UN Summit called Conference Of The Parties and being the twenty-sixth it bears the initials of (COP26). In 1992 the UN organized the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From this Summit emerged the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Since 1994, the UN has brought countries together on the issue of climate change. The agreements reached must have a legal framework so that they can be executed. The Kyoto Protocol, in 1997 is a legal framework agreement and establishes the limit of greenhouse gas emissions for 2012. The 2015 Paris Agreement is another legal framework that establishes the global warming limit of 1.5 Celsius and the commitment to increase financial resources for what needs to be done to achieve it.

The UN is committed to maintaining the 1.5 Celsius for warming because if it is not done, the reports they have are that: 62% of areas will burn due to forest fires and a third of mammals will lose their habitat. It is also necessary to generate collaboration between civil society, companies and governments. Also create the regulation of the Paris Agreement. These two Summits have been considered very important for the survival of the human species and the planet. The life of living beings is not possible without the life of the planet. What have human beings made of life, of the resources of this planet? What the facts show is to seize all the resources for uncontrollable enrichment where some have more than they can consume and where existence has been impossible for others. With the coronavirus pandemic, covid-19, everything that life entails has brought a crisis. The world economy is heading towards a crisis of the 30s, health and its care are leaving millions of deaths that some count at 5 and others at 17 million. The confinement generated to avoid contamination has people in a special psychological situation. Food production is adversely affected because there are no conditions for cultivation and livestock because human beings are needed to carry out the work. The financial situation for everyone is critical: there are those who owe and cannot pay the monetary organizations and those who could have more resources and money that cannot be moved for investment. Health for all countries has been a crucial issue because there are not all the necessary resources for so many people demanding care. Education also has serious problems: you need peace of mind to study. There are many people who have lost relatives, friends and situations of this nature demand psychological accommodation.

The generation of the collaboration of civil society, companies and governments, it is seen that a strong work must be done for all the distorting factors of the truth, for the companies that work outside of sustainable development as well as the policies of many governments. There is also the world political situation: everywhere there is a new “coup d’etat”; the generation of sustainable development disappears. There are also the large emerging governments belonging to the G-20 whose growth policies are contrary to sustainable development. We have to work with great interest and enthusiasm to achieve the life that we all deserve and always think about the importance of everyone, remembering the phrase of Fernando Savater: “It is as if we had to wait 21 centuries and a plague to realize that the others are important.” (Savater, 2020, Reflections, Ethic)
