Increasingly, the experimentation activity of THE SSTATE is generating practical ideas for individual empowerment through the collective ownership of the means of production for development in the rural areas as the basis for overall development.
By this process, parts of the means of production are stationed on the compounds of all productive individuals operationalizing them and coordinated within the organizational framework of people’s organizations like THE SSTATE across Africa.
This dispersal of the means of production among individuals within an administrative body, which coordinates their operationalization, serves as a process of a new-type proletarianization of the peasantry for instinctive individual responsibility.
In this process the peasant becomes and serves both as a working person and a manager. Current practices at the Liberty Ayivi Memorial Mango Plantation (LAMMP) and agro-processing in the Eastern Region of Ghana show this development.

What Begins As An EXPERIMENT Can Grow Into A Quiet Movement Of Building The Alternative
S.E.E.D.S. Inc. donated to THE SSTATE to rescue and revive its mango plantation and crops. In addition, contributions were made to multiple infrastructure projects, including onsite water, mechanization, and electrification initiatives.
The installation of the Water Borehole and the building of an irrigation system to provide an alternative to the only car/motorcycle washing station (bay) in the area.
Beginning in May 2025, essential construction materials—including chippings, sand, and cement blocks—were provided to complete the irrigation system supporting the construction of the washing bay, and income-generating business for the community in Odometa.
