However, this is only possible when the friction is reduced between people from various national and international cultures who are put together to work and produce. Ignoring cultural differences creates frictions and barriers. The need for reconciling cultural differences is reinforced when operating across borders. This module will align the already exposed participants to cross cultural issues with the possibilities and mechanisms for regional cooperation through mutually beneficial projects and activities with business and socioeconomic benefits. This will capitalize on the previous strategy and leadership modules with a spirit of glocalization blending regional exposure and cooperation with local cultures, norms and beliefs. The module will emphasize on the possibilities and opportunities enabled through the development of regional projects in different parts of the continent including the provision of a vehicle for knowledge dissemination and expertise collaboration through the different institutions available in Africa such as the African Development Bank, African Union, NEPAD and COMESA among others.
