The financial requirements for this vision are too enormous to be singularly guaranteed by the South African financial institutions. There will be a need to canvas this vision the world throughout. It will have to be massively marketed, irrespective of how it will be immediately rejected in certain quarters. The international community will have to be robustly pursued to come to the party. Success in mobilizing international financial support will mount necessary pressure to the domestic financial market, as well.
Beyond this there are numerous economic sectors that will be hugely impacted upon by this African Grand Plan. It is our wish for Africans in the Diaspora who are leaders in various economic sectors to become involved in this massive economic development vision. Some of the sectors that we need to canvas for partnership with include:

- Electrical and electronic sector
- Automobile sector
