ABOUT THE TRUST

What is The Ndege Group?

The Ndege Group, formally constituted as Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), holds the distinction of being the continent's first Sovereign Development Trust. Domiciled in The Seychelles as an irrevocable, non-charitable purpose trust, with operational headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, the Group serves as a pioneering institutional mechanism committed to fundamentally reshaping Africa's socio-economic trajectory.

The name "Ndege," derived from the Swahili language, symbolises both the freedom embodied by a bird in flight and the transformative capability of an aircraft to transcend physical boundaries. This etymology reflects the Trust's core ethos: visionary in outlook, yet firmly grounded in pragmatic, measurable action.

Through its integrated initiatives, The Ndege Group serves as a catalyst for Africa's self-sufficiency, driving sustainable prosperity and significantly enhancing the continent's competitiveness on the global stage through advanced technologies and ethical, accountable investment practices.

Who founded The Ndege Group?

The Ndege Group was founded in 2022 by David Okiki Amayo Jr. (also known as Trevor Mwendwa), who serves as Founder, Chairman, and Settlor of Africa's Sovereign Development Trust®.

In these foundational capacities, Mr. Amayo retains exclusive intellectual property rights to the Trust's institutional architecture, including registered trade marks with the Kenya Industrial Property Institute: OmniGaza® (No. 138985), The Ndege Group® (No. 138986), and Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (No. 138987). He also holds copyright to Hustler Fund, the African Federation Treaty Framework and the United African Defence Force Framework.

Mr. Amayo provides strategic direction and shapes the overarching vision for a unified and prosperous Africa, with the Trust's governance structure ensuring these principles endure beyond any individual tenure.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

What principles guide The Ndege Group?

The Ndege Group is guided by The African Charter, a seminal document affirming permanent commitment to Africa's sovereignty, justice, and collective dignity. This charter serves as the moral and strategic foundation for all the Trust's endeavours, establishing seven foundational tenets:

• Africa's Sovereignty: Ensuring that Africa's vast natural wealth remains the sovereign inheritance of its people, managed with integrity and prudence for the perpetual benefit of current and future generations.

• A Borderless Economy: Creating a seamless and cohesive economic space across the continent where trade, investment, and cultural exchange flourish, whilst fully respecting the sovereignty and autonomy of each nation.

• Unified Currency: Supporting the development and adoption of a unified African currency to enhance economic stability, facilitate smoother intra-continental trade, and foster financial independence from external influences.

• Infrastructure for Transformation: Building and modernising essential infrastructure across transport, education, healthcare, and energy sectors to provide equitable access and support sustained socio-economic development for all African communities.

• Ethical Governance: Grounding African governance systems in transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, with clear emphasis on prioritising citizen welfare and rights in all decision-making processes.

• Environmental and Cultural Stewardship: Enshrining the protection and sustainable management of Africa's unique ecosystems and rich cultural heritage as fundamental to maintaining continental identity and ensuring long-term resilience.

• Principled Partnerships: Encouraging collaboration with international allies who respect Africa's sovereignty, share its core ethical values, and are genuinely committed to sustainable development initiatives aligned with African priorities.

PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

What are ASDT's current projects?

The Ndege Group operates across three flagship investment verticals, each serving as a catalyst for Africa's industrial transformation:

• Ndege Aerospace: Revolutionising air freight, cloud seeding, telecommunications, and defence capabilities, including strategic development of the Ndege Aerodrome Public-Private Partnership and other aviation facilities to enhance regional connectivity and security.

• Ndege MarketPlace: A blockchain-based platform designed to foster transparent trade, seamless economic integration, and trustworthy transactions across African markets and beyond.

• The Ndege Foundation: An African Development Finance Fund and Real Estate Investment Trust dedicated to driving synergistic development finance combined with impactful philanthropic initiatives promoting sustainable growth and social welfare.

Beyond these core verticals, the 2025-2035 Project Portfolio encompasses major strategic initiatives including:

• United African Defence Force (UADF): A groundbreaking initiative unifying the continent's fifty-four sovereign nations under a cohesive defence apparatus, encompassing capacity building, advanced training facilities, and state-of-the-art equipment procurement.

• OmniGaza®: A proprietary blockchain platform engineered for comprehensive trading, project finance, continental defence optimisation, and efficient project management, with strategic plans to upgrade to quantum computing infrastructure by 2030.

What is OmniGaza®?

OmniGaza® is The Ndege Group's proprietary blockchain-AI sovereign technology platform, specifically designed to establish African data sovereignty and foundational governance across the continent. It serves as Africa's foundational economic operating system.

The platform integrates four core pillars:

1. Securing key national digital registries

2. Managing transparent sovereign finance via smart contracts for critical development projects

3. Facilitating direct resource trading through the Ndege MarketPlace

4. Providing the secure logistics and technological backbone for Ndege Aerospace and pan-African defence operations via the United African Defence Force

What is the African Federation Treaty Framework?

The African Federation Treaty Framework (AFTF) represents the first institutional design mechanism created by Africans to mathematically resolve the systemic failures perpetuating external economic dependence. Authored by David Okiki Amayo Jr. and formally unveiled at the Sandton Symposium in December 2025, the AFTF provides a definitive structural blueprint for continental self-determination through technological, financial, and defensive integration.

The framework addresses six fundamental paradoxes that have historically impeded pan-African unity:

5. The Sovereignty Paradox (Cooperation vs. Subordination)

6. Trust and Verification (Transparency vs. Operational Security)

7. The Incentive Alignment Problem (Unity vs. Defection)

8. Value Capture vs. Value Creation (Avoiding Neo-Colonialism)

9. The Legibility Problem (Adapting Markets to Africa)

10. The Authority Bootstrap Problem (From Legitimacy to Performance)

The AFTF integrates the United African Defence Force, OmniGaza®, the African Sovereign Development Finance Fund (ASDF), the African Rare Earth Mineral Fund (AREMF), and the Daudi Mutuku Fund for Education (DMFE) as coordinated components of unified continental architecture.

The framework is permanently archived with a citable DOI on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17670879) and maintained under version control on GitHub, ensuring academic discoverability and institutional transparency.

What has The Trust recently accomplished?

Recent strategic developments include:

• Sandton Symposium Series: Announcement of inter-military symposiums laying the foundational framework for the United African Defence Force and a harmonised approach to managing unified African maritime borders.

• Natural Resource Expansion: Securing a gold mine in Uganda through an ongoing merger and acquisition process involving key international investors.

• Sustainable Development Finance: Syndication of $300 million to support an innovative upcycling and renewable energy project in Nigeria.

• Military Partnerships: Engagement of three African armies for secondments, coupled with plans to establish specialised training facilities.

• International Recognition: Invitation to high-level development finance discussions with major global players from the United Kingdom, United States, China, and Russia.

• Technology Development: Continued development and implementation of the OmniGaza® blockchain platform to guarantee transparency and accountability in project finance.
