Our Co-Initiators

John Ragi is a visionary panafrihumanist and an emerging independent architect of global development policies committed to finding and advancing humanized dynamics and newer imperatives to repower the world. He is a managing professional leader by experience, a philanthroeconomist by calling, an imminent independent diplomat, and an avid neo-pioneer championing humanist and neocivilizational conscience as essential warranties of a new multipolar equilibrium and a step forward toward a better world and new global order that works better for humanity. John is deeply passionate about pioneering sciences, cutting-edge technologies, Africapitalism, peace economies, sovereign industrialization, planetary regeneration, and futurist societies. His current key focus spans global governance, multilateral diplomacy, international cooperation, post-extractive investments, and modern Afrocentric economic transformation. John envisions an Africa and a more economically dynamic and balanced world wherein wealth and opportunities for prosperity are infinitely and substantially extended to everyone and to succeeding generations. He is unwaveringly committed to inspiring a new generation of humanist leaders whose destiny, mandate, and greatest vow is to achieve common happiness and shared prosperity throughout the world. In the current era of global shifts and disruptions, John is highly concerned in forging global alliances in which conscientious peers, enlightened minds, and diligent personalities are interconnected into a unified global ecosystem of humanist leaders, diplomats, pioneers, innovators and solvers working together to chart routes through darkness and emerging solutions from the troughs. He countlessly shapes and influences breakthrough initiatives and institutions that place people and generations at the heart of the mission and address the most intractable concerns of global humanity.

With an unmatched depth in global Afrocentric economic transformation, John is widely recognized as a key figure behind several initiatives of prime importance for Africa and the world. Prior to spearheading establishment of the Global Economic Cooperation Council for Africa (GECCA), he co-founded and served as the first Board President of UNCACED, an apolitical, non-governmental and extradiplomatic African organization founded by his DRC Statements under imperative promises and boldest pledges to chart back and repropelling a second African transcontinental way for stronger lives in a more economically powerful Africa. He is the originator of several visionary initiatives, including the 2080 Plan for Africa, the World Peace Compact for Africa, the World Concert of Nations for Africa, the Structural Liberation Agenda, Energenéon, the Pan African Agricultural and Food Revolution Agenda, Hopeland City Project, the Pan African Infrastructure, Innovation and Investment Revolution Accord, the corporate revolution of companies structured into SCIIECOs Industries, development of IPᵌHs and C4RED corridors, democratized cooperative reindustrialization etc.

John is as also working on the prospective establishment of key strategic institutions such as INTERTRADE AFRICA, ACSIA, AFRISIED BANK, AFRIGUARANTOR, CVCRA, AFRIDA, etc.

In terms of his forward vision on the Modern African Science and Knowledge Enterprise (Afriscientia), John expects a new enterprise model with more millennial features– capable of standing ahead of the curve and rising the next African school in the global highest heights of the modern preeminent education and delivering a new advanced erudition and new pioneering proficiencies for humanity and the planet.

Through the Rudders Corporation–hereafter called Les Gouvernails, John envisions a sovereign expertise and consulting firm dedicated to predicting, projecting, and shaping transformative trajectories across societies, governments, and economies.

In his Quote: “There’s a unique way to re-propel a brighter and plenipotential world for humanity but many ways to keep it still in chaos”. In this quote, John reflects and sums up his faith and convictions in the magic power of humanistic will and collective consciousness in the search for a better world. From insularity to the modern enterprise of humanistic civilizations, he not only rises to fulfill a profound imperative duty to contribute to the reparation and perfecting of the contemporary world, but to help building, bequeathing and perpetuating a lasting humanist legacy for future African and world generations.

A humanistic believer, husband, parent and father of five, John currently lives in DRC; an African proudly born Congolese and a Global Citizen by consciousness and moral dedication to global humanity.

John is proficient in both development English and French, and is passionate about continuous learning, travel, cooperation, interconnecting people, and the development of investment opportunities.
