 Adaptation and implementation of rural private entrepreneural initiatives
in order to create and sustain a dynamic and productive private
sector driven, state supervised modern industrialised economy.
In pushing this philosophy we shall embrace the following:

- Achievement of Universal Primary Education
- Promotion of gender equality and women empowerment
- Reduction of child mortality
- Improvement of maternal health
- Combating scourges such as HIV / AIDS and malaria
- Environmental sustainability

 International
donor agencies that we shall approach for support also adopt the community
development paradigm we shall be adopting. Notable among these are the agencies
of the United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF),
and United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
Other external funding agencies such as the European Union, the World Bank, the
Department of International Development and all overseas development
agencies of foreign countries conventionally focus their attention
on local communities. Today, we talk of Community-Based Organizations
(CBOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which are basically
involved in community intervention programmes. We will increase
the participation of these stakeholders as our partners in progress
in Akwa Ibom State.
