In December 2008, Woodroffe delivered a series of lectures in Monrovia, Liberia, where he addressed the issue of Core Imperative for Successful Nation Development and identified the demand for democracy as one of the tectonic movements or shifts taking place in the relational architecture of the earth. He advised that "to make appreciable impact, we are to embark on visionary thinking and developmental planning and that radical new possibility for change and development must be created by our own efforts towards local economic stimulation, social change and developments and local political initiatives."[5]
In September 2010, Woodroffe took part in an ICT Forum in Zimbabwe where he delivered a keynote address on "Core Imperatives for Successful National Development"[6].
