AFRICAN BORDERLANDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - POLITICS OF DEVELOPING NATIONS (ABCD-PDN) PROJECT
ABCD-PDN builds on the financial assistance provided by Northeastern undergraduates enrolled in Politics of Developing Nations (PDN), and graduate students of the Development Administration and Planning seminar, to two neighboring villages separated by the Nigeria-Niger international boundary in West Africa. Three major premises undergird ABCD-PDN:1) that students learn best about third world development when they are directly connected to, and involved with, specific communities overseas;
2) that populations in low-income countries are better served by people-to-people initiatives than by “foreign aid” funneled through governments; and
3) that peace between African nations can be fostered by simultaneously aiding neighboring communities in their shared borderlands.
By contributing matching funds to ABCD-PDN, donors enable Northeastern students to learn personally and experientially about community development while helping to foster peace and development on the African continent.
