ASA World is the umbrella organization of all the Anambra people in diaspora. We are a neutral, non-partisan and non-political organization. We do not support any candidate or political party. We work in concert with a legitimately elected government of the day, credible NGOs and stakeholders in our home state to “do right” by our brethren in our home state. We fashion ourselves to the roles of an “ombudsman” and or an intermédiaire for the good of the poor and the marginalized. We are not formed by any government and therefore, do not answer to any government and or interest group. We are constituted by over 30 Diaspora Anambra legitimately registered Association globally; from Canada, United States , United Kingdom, Spain, South Africa, Russia, China, Japan, Ireland, Iceland, Holland, Pakistan, India, Dubai, Greenland and more

ASA-World embraces all stakeholders and Anambrarians from varying political stripes and interest groups in meeting the needs of our people, irrespective of their political isles. We do not “pander to, and or engender divide” for political gains. Our Preamble supposes that as the umbrella organizations of all the Anambra State citizens worldwide, having recognized the need for sustainable development in Anambra State, agreed to come together, in one voice and act with unity and loves through projects and programs formed an Association on Saturday June, 19 2010 called Anambra State Association World (ASA – World).

ASA-World mission includes, but are not limited, to pursuance of projects jointly by our member nations with one voice and one accord as we establish and prosper our economies, promote our welfare, write our narratives, celebrate our culture and history, and owing nothing but love to all men and women.

ASA-World Governing Council accredits, assesses and considers any application for membership and reaches a decision considered appropriate on the basis of criteria set aside by the bylaw. All members of ASA-World must safeguard the interest of the association at all times, especially when making decisions or undertaking activities on its behalf in their respective countries, as well as anywhere in the world (including Nigeria). In other words, members of ASA-World and its officials must avoid all situations in which their actions may not be in the best interest of the association and/or which may adversely affect its public image.

Ethical behaviour is the over-riding expectations from all members and officials of ASA-World. Therefore, when information exists that raises doubts as to the ethical behaviour of any member/official, the person concerned must immediately disclose all circumstances leading to the situation and take action to rectify it. All members and officials of ASA-World are volunteers and so never receive remuneration from the ASA-World, but shall be reimbursed for authorized personal expenses incurred while on ASA-World assignments.

Conflict of Interest situation arises when the private interest of a member influences or may be seen to influence his/her decision made on behalf of ASA-World.

Members are resolute in our efforts at flushing out service gaps and in making recommendations in the areas of needed improvements to the government of the day. We collaborate with all stakeholders; government and non-government (NGOs) in identifying the emerging technological, socio-political and economic issues that are beneficial to our people. Here are some of the ways we do it;

1. Formation of world-wide “Action Committee” to deal with issues of significance to our noble state

2. Through economic and capacity building projects that engenders skill transfer and human capital development

3. Continuing to conduct social audit; on human, infrastructural, Human Capital and Service gaps in our state and to advocate on behalf of the Anambrarians the need for transparent government and “Sustainable Development

4. Emphasizing, aggressively through Summits, the needs for entrepreneurship as a vital component in addressing local and State economies, global competitiveness and growth of our human capital

5. Participating in election monitoring to ensure that all elections in our state are free and fair and that power is returned to the people

6. Working towards overcoming a system that installs unpopular candidates against the wishes of the people

7. Engendering positive election process by obtaining and compiling useful information and credible evidence that will be useful in overcoming any alteration of the outcome of the election. Consequently, we engage the services of professional camera men to record and take photos of information that be available for anyone in need of the record(s)

As you can see, ASA World has a huge task ahead. All members have also, voted unanimously at the 2014 AGM to modify their signature programs to fit ASA-World’s Annual Summits. To add more substance to ASA-World’s”Annual initiatives”, medical mission was voted in as a noteworthy new initiative to ASA World’s annual initiative effective July 2015. Thanks to this repertoire a new oomph has been added to our Annual Summit. Our alliances of the willing member nation partners in service organization continue to add to our clarity of purpose driven agenda. ASA-World mantra; “there is no “I” in Team, regardless of whichever way one attempts to spell “team”. Methinks that ASA-World is teamwork personified.

Our agenda is simple, our mission is to ensure that leadership in Anambra State is based on ability to work hard by those entrusted with public trust, see to it that fairness reigns and that a sense of direction and accountability is the cornerstone of government blueprint. In other words, Anambra people can never again, be led by those whose educational and or qualification for public trust cannot be verified.
