Thus, the PSA engages in advocacy activities and actively works for more equitable and efficient
exploitation and distribution of our resources since energy is the lifeline for development. There will be
no development without massive industrialization and no industries without energy. It is therefore
imperative that Africans mobilize to exploit gas and oil through our own resources. Another important
issue for the PSA is education. It believes that training and educating the youth is crucial to creating a
critical mass of qualified workers, not simply intellectuals. Development will necessarily require
visionary leaders and quality human resources.
The PSA approach is a great way to ensure access to Africa's natural resources for Africans. Despite
being the world’s richest continent, Africa has not fully reaped the benefits of its resources. Our subsoil
is exploited by international companies without the benefit of our populations. In our countries,
everything seems urgent. However, for the moment, we must prioritize the economic aspect, which will
enable the masses to move from poverty and thus allow for a transformation of mentality. After all, a
man who is not hungry tends to focus on other types of needs. The PSA aims to promote the
responsibility of our youth around the value of work. Through its avant-garde thinking and actions, the
PSA intends to change the aberrant circumstance of Africa and create a new paradigm that is centered
around Africans.
