and Peace

Welcome

4EPR website provides a set of integrated tools

for achieving sustainable development and peace.

4EPR approach identifies the root causes of most issues affecting

society and presents practical solutions for highly rewarding results.

PEACE WATER HAPPINESS AWARENESS and LOVE (PWHAL - ሰዉደግፍ)
are the means and destination

PWHAL is an immediate priority for Ethiopians to get out of the current crises and to leap into their destiny. Water is the most abundant as rain if captured and saved as surface water of lakes throughout the country. Lakes create opportunities for peace happiness and love.

Let's use it to advance SDGs

The 4EPR approach is the most practical and expedient way of achieving the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights Article 25(1) for millions of rural people and others living anywhere:

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Lets work together with all people

Ethiopia's external debt at 248 USD per person is less risky and attractive for investors who trust the country's resource potential. 31B USD for 125 million people can be paid out in a few weeks if resources are deployed to generate 10x+. Productivity with engagement is the solution.

CHANGE

that engages People in High Productivity tasks is the only way to sustainable happy life

People move into high productivity tasks when they collaborate in doing things together like in cluster farming and in cluster industries. Engaged people can build their common essential infrastructures like water supplies, power supplies, roads, schools, health centres and multidewelling homes with collective human labour and by pulling their complementary resources. Increased productivity is the lever that attracts new tools, processes, investments and technology for accelerated growth and leap change. Experts evolve through dedicated work-training with conviction to a happy complete fulfilled life.

INNOVATION

Innovation is intersection of Consumer Desire, Technical Feasibility and Business Viability

These work styles
must be changed

ABOUT

Ethiopian People are determined to stand for a better life - 4EPR Shows to How to Get There

Ethiopian people can pull out of poverty and associated ills, such as hunger, unemployment, suffering from preventable diseases, and threats of cyclical famine through united action. These ills of poverty are the root causes of the continuing unrest and lack of peace.

The political shades such as tribal, ethnic, and religious conflicts are manifestations of poverty and greed. Poverty will continue unless fundamental changes that address all the above issues are addressed. This website presents concrete ideas on how to go about solving problems across the country. The website and the accompanying book present the historical root causes of the crisis, set actionable and tangible goals, and outline the steps on how to get universal engagement for achieving sustainable change and reaching the goals in a few years. LEAP innovation, using DEPICT tools is designed to empower people to lift themselves. Disrupt Engage Paradigm-shift Innovate Create-value Transform.

People have a great opportunity to solve their problems with their own means starting from basic needs.

Priority one: engage people to create water abundance converting rainfall into a year-round water supply. This can be done by harvesting rainfall for year-round use. Abundant water in all parts of the country lifts productivity in all economic sectors, with many opportunities for the unemployed and under-employed.

Mobilized People Create Lakes

It is time for communities to come together and solve their primary needs rain flood threats into continuous water supplies. Experts, youth, locals, and others can collaborate to build ponds and artificial lakes as renewable water supplies for all their needs. Fresh clean water for every home and workplace vital need for a year-round harvest, to diversify the economy, and to create jobs for millions.

RATIONALE

90% of a country's economic activity occurs within its boarders. In other words, for every product and service produced in a country, 90% of the consumers are in the country. Demand and supply grow together. Therefore, if productivity of the people rises in every sector, people will earn more and spend more for all the goods and services to lead a better standard of living and the economy grows.

TOOLS - TECHNOLOGY

How can we pay for them to boost productivity?

We buy and bring in the tools and technology to produce more, build more and improve lives and standard of living. Once we have plenty of food and beautiful facilities, we invite the world for good time. We host them, treat them and feed them in beautiful hotels, restaurants, resorts and entertainment venues. The money they bring for the good time will pay all the debt spend on technology and tools. Win-Win without aid money.
