WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
I joined my brother @AUC_MoussaFaki, Chair @_AfricanUnion, for their & @AfricaCDC’s emergency meeting on #COVID19 preparedness.
Very important that African ministers of health met to strengthen continental and national level preparedness.

So proud of my team who worked overnight on a briefing to support this important @_AfricanUnion discussion on #coronavirus and #Africa's response, including data on Africans in the epicenter in Hubei, #China & 3 options for coordinated action #COViD19
Today @_AfricanUnion and African Health Ministers are meeting to discuss an #Africa-wide coordinated response to #COVID19. We have submitted a #briefing on African students and citizens in #Hubei to inform the deliberations, incl. 3 options for action. We will follow closely. https://t.co/fmUmfOg6dk
Great to see the #AU take up @DevReimagined's recommendation for a coordinated and detailed #African strategy on #COVID2019, taking place tomorrow in #Addis.
A great #SinoAfrica question, which I think reflects a much more complicated discursive environment than simply the U.S. and Europe unfairly railing against China to an audience of powerless Africans. https://t.co/Ulexe0u6rs
Indeed - @AUC_MoussaFaki @SongweVera @NEPAD_Mayaki @_AfricanUnion - to note!
Ideas to support Africa trade with China and beyond: https://t.co/qu9Dk6IudN @developmentreimagined
Genuine question - I am seeing so much concern about the proposed #Kenya-#US free #trade agreement and impacts on #AfCFTA - but why were these concerns not raised for the now concluded #Mauritius-#China #FTA - what's different? @UNCTADKituyi @Erastus_Mwencha @KimAElliott
Development Reimagined was cited in a recent @BBCAfrica article on impacts of #COVID19 on #African students & citizens in #China. Since the #coronavirus outbreak we have shared data & analysed the practical & diplomatic challenges it presents for #Africa: https://t.co/id7OTOtOrZ
#Liberia - a country that scores 39% on the WHO index for health systems, compared to the average for #Africa of 48%, has been able to quarantine over 70 people as part of its #COVID19 #coronavirus response. Taking it seriously.
US aid worth more than five percent of recipient GDP in just six countries: Malawi, Liberia, Somalia, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Palau.
One of the few places left that the US could finance a “new Marshall Plan” is the Marshall Islands.
Quick request twitter folk - anyone got the original joint statement from @Erastus_Mwencha and @UNCTADKituyi on the #Kenya-#US #trade deal? Searched @TradeLawCentre and for some reason could not find it!
Our numbers on #African students and citizens in the epicenter of the #coronavirus in #China cited once again (sadly without attribution) in this piece by @dw on the challenges they are experiencing.

@hmryder Thanks for the shout-out @hmryder ! Hopefully this article and the efforts of countless others prompt African governments into action!
Illuminating article by @Serufusa on the experience of #Africans in #China during #SARs compared to #coronavirus. In short - not much has changed except scale. Governments need to do more...
