Current Activities


The World Institute for Development and Peace and its partners, EQUITECH, the Center for Economic and Social Justice, and Equity Expansion International are involved simultaneously with several projects in the USA and other parts of the world.

Washington: The WIDP and its partners are working with other institutions and individuals to promote "Third Way" capital homesteading and community investment corporations for the District of Columbia. This includes the creation of a model project, an industrial park that will house a multi-billion dollar complex that will include a 12,500 inmate prison, a power plant, a waste processing facility utilizing ultra modern waste-to-energy technologies that will employ 12,000, be financed by local commercial banks, and be owned by voters of the District of Columbia. This will be a model to be duplicated on the national level in different parts of the USA. 

Uruguay: Working with the National Center for a Dynamic Economy (CENADE) in Uruguay, we are formulating a solution for the liberation of credit and the creation of insurance mechanisms that will promote privatization and economic restructuring giving employees and workers in private and public sectors access to ownership of national assets and the creation of new ones.

Bangladesh, Philippines, Colombia, Paraguay, and Cameroon: In a similar manner to Uruguay, with the impending privatization and sale of major national assets, the creation of new industries in education, manufacturing, service, and land development as part of reforms in these countries which are engaging in modernization in order to join the global economy, the WIDP and its partners working together with private organizations and individuals and with the cooperation of their governments are working through the democratization of credit to devise procedures for the spread of wealth among workers, managers, and technical labor forces by borrowing capital to buy national assets for the creation of new companies opening new opportunities for the majority of the population to participate actively as new owners of the transformed economy.
