Beaucoup d'inhabitants cherchent fortune ailleurs. Gabon therefore has a very very large diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages, set-up, link-up their projects with OLPC, coordinate projects and that they can inspire many in their host countries to come along. It is so difficult in these host countries to develop additional value and hence make money. In many regions in the home country however it is so easy as everything is to be developed.

Also the societies from the host countries will benefit from the Gabon diaspora who has one leg in the host country and another still in their countries of origin. Maybe it will start by developing leadership for OLPC, but soon it will be accompanied by exporting technologies, know-how and experience from the host countries along Agenda 21, the MDG's and together you will be able to accelerate bringing the level of quality of life in Gabon to a level that will inspire others, existing generations and generations to come.

Gabon is not a Least Developing Country as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_developed_country on the contrary.

About Gabon

C'est par tout ces postings sur facebook que j'ai finalement commencé a étudier le Gabon. Mes ressources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabon C'est tragique. Si je comprends bien le Gabon a tout pour être un ciel sur terre: - Gabon's oil revenues and extraction of abundant primary materials - Natural resources include: petroleum, magnesium, iron, gold, uranium, and forests - have given it a strong per capita GDP of $8,600, extremely high for the region. However the income distribution is skewed and social indicators show poor values. The richest 20% of the population receive over 90% of the income while about a third of the Gabonese population lives in poverty.[5] - Gabon has a population that is estimated at 1,545,255. - Low population density, abundant petroleum, and foreign private investment[ambiguous] have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the highest HDI[4] and the third highest GDP per capita (PPP) (after Equatorial Guinea and Botswana) in the region.
