Global African Trade, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Conference

Project Overview

With the increasing wave of globalization and glocalization, the Institute of Planning and Sustainable Development, GIPSD, is a USA-based nonprofit educational and international community development institution forging academic excellence and research for human capital development and environmental justice. The institute aims to alleviate generational dependency, poverty, and technical information deprivation, by developing globally competitive skills-set, sustainable entrepreneurship with global trade, and innovative professional services. It is all about hands in, not hand out. Working as an innovative, nontraditional hands-on community development college, GIPSD collaborates with locals around the world, to build strong citizen oriented communities, with initial commitment to Global Africans, through transformative planning and sustainable development that not only improves holistic quality of life, but also preserves the environment.
