A comprehensive Approach to Sustainable Development
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.

LEAP

Lead Engage Act Participate

We must LEAP out of the broad challenges in innovative ways

Ethiopia can LEAP into a high plane, walking or even running is not adequate to achieve the critical changes the country needs. Leaders can Engage millions of unemployed people including  professionals and Act on Programs to stop

  • Stunting of children,

  • Shortage of Essentials

  • Crowding in cities

  • Growing Poverty.

Fast-tracked hands-on skill transfer applied in 

  • building new planned complete cities and infrastructures,

  • harvesting water and energy

will create jobs, stimulates the economy, earnings and solves problems.  Resource planned to patch existing cities will build new cities three times cheaper.

Stunting of children is the most dangerous and urgent problem for Ethiopia. According to Ethiopian Gov and UN reports 38% of Ethiopian children are growing stunted - lacking full development of their minds and bodies. It means the country's next-generation could be non-productive. More

 

ETHIOPIA the water tower country in Africa with 120 billion cubic meters of fresh water every average year must not have water-related problems. We can mobilize the country and solve WATER with shovels, hoes and available tools. 

4EPR team is working with Country's leaders and institutions to engage people for productive and sustainable growth

LEAP INNOVATIVE ACTIONS

  • For expanding the current changes in the country into broader economic gains in all peoples’ lives.

  • Raising peoples’ awareness to collectively map the way into an improved standard of living for all.

  • For modifying the education system that is keeping people unemployed into practical learning testing and applying on real-life needs for instant application.

  • For expedited transitioning of people from predominantly subsistence agriculture into vibrant and diversified economic systems.

  • For moving people out of horrible conditions in thatched-roof homes and sharing water with animals into safe clean zero-energy using sustainable homes and brighter lives.

  • For raising training systems beyond STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) into practical desirable and viable actions working with people.

  • For growing the national economy of over a hundred million people country into Trillions of dollars value by engaging millions of poorly deployed resources in efficient and sustainable production systems.

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

Ethiopian people can pull out of poverty, hunger, over 50% unemployment, suffering from preventable diseases, forced migration and threats of famine in a few years through united action. These root causes for the current unrest will continue unless fundamental changes that address all the above issues are addressed.  This website presents concrete ideas on how to go about solving the problems across the country. The website and the accompanying book presents the historical root causes of the crisis, sets actionable and tangible goals and outlines the steps on how to get universal engagement for achieving sustainable change and reaching the goals in few years.

 

LEAP IS INNOVATION

LEAP is about a series of doable, feasible and affordable economic and social reforms that must be triggered to reach every citizen concurrently across the country.

LEAP is required to open doors for millions of unemployed graduates and youth; to save stunting children; to relieve our crowded cities from continuing to be under siege; to engage the population to emerge into high productivity programs. The leaps are required to sustain the momentum of change in the country and to bring socio-economic upheavals.

70th Anniversary of Human Rights
10 December 2017 – The United Nations on Sunday kicked off in Paris, France, a year-long campaign to honor the foundational human rights document, which next year marks its 70th anniversary.
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 of his family, including food, clothing, and housing and 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. Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 25(1)

National conditions and resources along with anxious people are

INNOVATION

The new Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed and his team has created a vibrant atmosphere for all people to work together and emerge out of poverty.

People united can build infrastructures, for harvesting and using resources to make a better life in diverse sectors.

Ethiopians united will emerge out of the current and future crises in few years

Solidarity with People of Ethiopia

 

In this 70th Anniversary year of the Universal Human Rights Declaration, the Ethiopian people need solidarity from the Diaspora, and from all friends around the world in their struggle to achieve basic human necessities.

Change that engages People in High Productivity tasks is only solution for Ethiopia 
Over 40 years of doing same thing left over 80% of population in rural areas without clean water, electricity and key essentials to quality life.
So called "Double digit growth" didn't lift Ethiopia from being 173rd country in Human Development ranking. The country needs multi-fold growth that needs production and consumption growth in all economic sectors and NOT only in Agriculture.
Best moments will come if military drops its guns and work with the people for improved life - a complete home for every person coast to coast.

Ethiopia's external debt at 240 USD per person is less risky and attractive for investors.

Every person can make 10 times with better tools for better life 

These work styles

must be changed 

Stop Soil Erosion

  • In Ethiopia fertile top soil is washed away in Billions of tons each year without people noticing the damage.
  • “Ethiopia is more than 50% highland, and 60% of the people live in the mountains where the soil is more susceptible to erosion and degradation. Erosion is caused by people who’ve been forced to encroach into the forests and onto the steep slopes for cultivation due to high population density. This erosion leads to annual loses of 1.9 billion tons of soil. And it’s believed that 27 million hectares of Ethiopian land have already eroded.  Read More

Productivity Improvement solves Poverty and Brings Peace

 FROM this

Low Productivity means not enough or no surplus

People are Poor

Poverty and Scarcity leads to struggle for control and Power

Power control leads

to Race wars

Idelogical wars

Religious wars

Resources used for military and security taking away from development 

TO this

High Productivity means more output or surplus 

People produce enough

Prosperity or no-scarcity leads to peace no control of Power

People care less about Power control leads to

social harmony of races and religions 

Resources used for more development and less for security and military 

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.
