Cecile Johnson

Project Manager, Researcher and presenter on Development issues impacting the Global African Community with a special focus on the African in America community in the USA; and Sub-Saharan Africa. Founder of African Development Plan, which calls for the creation and implementation of a 50 year plan for development for global African communities. African Development Plan includes the creation of a Brain Trust, a skills database, leadership development, and a comprehensive needs assessment which utilizes the human development index as a main criteria for comprehending how well a people within a country are really doing. Research is tied to deconstructing history to understand the impact of International treaties, constitutional amendments, Supreme Court decisions, Federal, State and local laws and local customs, and their impact on the development of African peopled communities worldwide. It includes an assessment of the Millennium Development Goals, and Post MDG’s along with the Ibrahim Index on leadership and governance and other leading economic indicators to get a 360% review of not only the economy but the people and systems which create the conditions of the people. The outcome of African Development Plan will be a 50 year Plan- designed and implemented on the local level, that helps communities address past and current discriminatory practices which have created the current inequities for global African people.
