AUN's Professor Peter Genger has advocated the adoption of the Ubuntu ideology by African countries to overcome its development challenges.
In "The Political Paradigm Africa Should Endorse to Impact the Global Community” in Oloruntoba S.O., Falola T. (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Africa and the Changing Global Order. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham., Professor Genger contended that Africa could extricate itself from "the notoriety of syndromic dependency, consumerism, self-disbelief, and lack of agency”. Ubuntu is the ideology of self-liberation because it is an inherently catalytic and viable homegrown philosophy, he said.
"Ubuntu will give a powerful agency to Africans, restore their self-confidence and ideologically position them to inform and alter their destiny and global agendas actively."
For many, mainly West Africans, who might be hearing about this ideology, said to be indigenous to Africa, for the first time, South African social entrepreneur and Ubuntu advocate Keith Bete explains that "Ubuntu is an eternal African philosophy of "oneness," that explains the interconnectedness of life; the essence of a human being, the divine spark of goodness inherent within each being.”
