” A Breakthrough Initiative”This is a path breaking partnership that illustrates how the poverty trap can be broken even in the very poorest places in the world” said Jeffrey Sachs. “Just as importantly it is serving as a bellwether for other areas throughout Africa where government leaders and local communities are aiming to emulate what has been accomplished in Senegal. Sachs noted that working with JM Eagle was vital because their involvement helped to secure support for the project from the government of Senegal which ultimately dug additional wells and built water towers as part of the overall initiative. “Public-private partnerships are essential for solving the problems of extreme poverty and sustainable development and as evidenced by this project can have a major impact in solving global problems such as water scarcity in developing nations” he said. An Attitude of Hope”When we first arrived in Senegal there seemed to be much disparity and little hope among many of the villagers we met due to the extreme poverty” commented Walter Wang of JM Eagle which is headquartered in Los Angeles. “To see that attitude replaced with joy and smiles when they realized they now have safe water in their villages is gratifying beyond words. Wang noted that while water is the vital link to health and economic advancement across the globe the world is facing a crisis not just in the availability of water but in its management.

Apart from halal foods other potential Malaysian exports include cars electronic goods and machinery. Abdel Kader said the main objective of the one-day forum was to offer a platform for disseminating information on existing investment potential among Malaysian companies eager to reinforce their presence in Senegal and Africa.
