WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
A great initiative from the @UNinChina that we are pleased to be supporting to help #African countries get to implementation of #FOCAC2021 as quickly as possible.
The impact of COVID-19 on broader healthcare and Development spending continues to down grade all past efforts to address poverty and inequality in Africa. @DevReimagined analysis gives a breakdown you wouldn't want to miss. Bravo @DevReimagined on this.

How much have #African governments had to spend in 2021 to manage #COVID19 and buy vaccines? How did your country rank and what does this mean for 2022? Our latest #infographic reveals all.
In some countries, today is known as #BlueMonday. But our analysis suggests #Africa's #COVID19 response has so far mostly been "blue", and fell from a relatively small value of $68bn in 2020 to an even lower $62bn in 2021. What to expect for 2022? Read on.

Has China really "signalled a more cautious approach" and applied "the brakes to Africa lending"?
Fortunately for Africa, Chinese stakeholders do not primarily use damaging "debt risk" assessments to determine their financial decisions, says @hmryder. https://bit.ly/3I8YdlS
In 2021, #African countries spent US$62bn to manage #COVID19 - 2.3% of GDP. This ate into other spending needs, while #development partners like @WorldBankAfrica were slow to support. Here's why we're worried 2022 will be the same or worse. #infographics

Whether it's Friday or Saturday where you are, do take a moment to read our new #infographic report on the finance African countries spent on #COVID19 in 2021. The comparison between the spend, its reach, and the response of the international financial system really hits hard. https://twitter.com/DevReimagined/status/1482093038751129605
Great infographics on Africa's COVID situation.
@DevReimagined seems to be doing good work. https://twitter.com/DevReimagined/status/1482093074419486730

Did you spot our team members around the table? We are pleased to be supporting the @UNinChina and #African Ambassadors group in #China to deliver this forthcoming symposium. Stay tuned!
#Africa's creative industries are seeing a global rennaisance. But how has this come about? Our CEO @hmryder shares her analysis of the reasons in the @FT's @fDiIntelligence magazine. https://www.fdiintelligence.com/article/80484
#Chinese investors in #Africa have been virtually ignored compared to loans from #China’s banks, but after #FOCAC Dakar the former look to become more important. Read why and how in this analysis by our analyst Yike Fu in @Diplomat_APAC https://thediplomat.com/2021/11/the-quiet-china-africa-revolution-chinese-investment/
“#Turkey has a slightly higher GDP per capita than China, but its economy is 5% the size of #China’s, so its reach in #Africa will concomitantly be smaller. That said, Turkey can do more,” writes @hmryder of Development Reimagined.

39 years ago today, #China and #Angola established diplomatic relations. How have #development patterns in Angola changed since then, and what role has #finance from China played compared to others? Here is a snapshot analysis from our #africaunconstrained #debt guide.

Strengthened cooperation in value-added industrial development is in the long-term interests of both China and African countries, argues CABC report http://en.cabc.org.cn/?c=chinese&a=view&id=17, as explained by @OvigweEguegu @DevReimagined @Diplomat_APAC https://thediplomat.com/2021/09/gauging-the-future-of-chinese-investment-in-africa/ @PoorvaKarkare
What kind of "agency" is exercised by #African actors in their dealings with #China, and are these in the interests of the continent as a whole? Our interview with @folasoule for the #africaunconstrained project has some great insights - watch here:

Reporting is in line with a trend we @devreimagined have said is likely to emerge over the next few years re: #China #Africa - a more regional focus for #infrastructure lending (NB: that means large infrastructure, not just small projects/tech assistance).
