systems in countries with a limited infrastructure budget. This is because the inadequacy of
infrastructures and transportation systems creates a constant poverty cycle according to this
research and thereby inhibits the national production growth and domestic human development
within the country concerned.

The general objective of this joint domestic infrastructure and transportation programs between
public and private is to solicit financial support from regional technical and business
organizations. These organizations may help to develop better local infrastructure in bilateral
or regional negotiations. In this regard, this platform serves as a guide for developing domestic
infrastructure and transportation mega-projects proposals to obtain credit from different local
financial organizations.

The domestic social infrastructure and transportation systems aim to promote efforts relating
to social well-being such as supplies of hospitals assistance in times of natural disasters,
epidemics, public transportation systems, provision of schools and universities, as well as
installation of national security infrastructures such as police stations, military quarters, and
fire stations. All these efforts can significantly serve as a base for economic development in
any country concerned: the favourable domestic socio-economic conditions resulting from the
improvement of the internal social infrastructures and transportations systems in any country
respectively, to reduce its vulnerability.
The other aspect of the platform of the productive infrastructures and transportations systems
refers to communication services, public transportation, physical infrastructure cooperation
(bridges, highways, railways, airports, and ports).
The Strategic Selective Trade, Investment, and Tourism Protection Platform (P3)

The third program of the NDEAS-Model is the selective strategic trade, investment, and
tourism protection platform (P3). This platform's general objective is to concentrate efforts
within any country and neighbors' countries to create a more reliable platform to promote trade,
investment, and tourism at an intra-neighbor level.
More specifically, this module of the NDEAS-Model seeks to expand the national production
and exports of any country in different neighbors' markets based on the increment of domestic
productivity and competitiveness, as well as to attract into the region direct investment (RDI)
and tourists from different neighbors' countries. This platform can also have interested to
protect particular strategic food security and manufacturing sectors in case of war, pandemics,
and national emergencies.
The efforts adopted for the above objectives include the classification of all essential food items
and manufacturing sectors to build a stable food security platform. By participating and support
a large number of small and medium producers technically and financially, all essential food
items will be easily identified and organized according to a list of national food priorities. In
turn, this enables them to produce enough in any national emergency, such as the case of a
massive pandemic. It also becomes more comfortable for people to find stocks of food anytime
and anywhere. As a result of the above, all small and medium producers who participate in this
platform has the same opportunity to compete.

The Environmental and Natural Resources Management Platform (P4)

The environmental and natural resources management platform (P4) is the fourth platform in
the NDEAS-Model. This module's central idea is to look for a solution to different problems
in the environmental and natural resources management and planning of any country. This
