Akoh stated:  “The time has come for the world to ‘Go ZeroPoverty’ owing to the simple reason that the core of global crisis is pandemic poverty. This poverty is beyond mere economic poverty calculations as it is the ongoing experience by leaders of thoughts globally.

“The pandemic poverty we are talking here is global because of its comprehensive nature ranging from religion to family, business to development, governance to ecosystem, and academia to potentials. It’s the discovery of this poverty nature that gave birth to World Equation Organization (WEO) -a 501C3 nonprofit organization that is centered on ZeroPoverty.”

“ZeroPoverty is the comprehensive solution to the global crisis caused by Pandemic Poverty. The world we call home is Octogeneous for it’s interconnected by eight factors working together such that a touch to one is a touch to all. The eight factors are religion, family, business, development, governance, ecosystem, academia and potentials. It’s by the octogeneity of the world that ZeroPoverty will be achieved in the world and by so doing, together, we will eradicate Pandemic Poverty globally.”

“To start with this solution, the world need to ‘Go ZeroPoverty’. Going ZeroPoverty starts with Countries of the world knowing their respective performances in Octogeneity -the eight interconnected system. Please, see the cover of the Global ZePCA Report (attached), which stands for ZeroPoverty Countdown Agenda. Hence, this Maiden Edition of the Global ZeroPoverty Report and Ranking 2019.”
