Excellent to see @AgDevCo’s 1st investment in #cotedivoire.
It’s in sustainable palm oil, a transformative value chain.
The investment includes a traceability programme to ensure ethical & sustainable sourcing from smallholders.

With relatively few development partners supporting #infrastructure priorities of governments, and right fiscal budgets, not much more can be expected.

Should #US investors be looking at opportunities in #Africa's #media and #tech spaces? @AubreyHruby says yes - and quickly, as the space is being already taken up by #China's investors https://t.co/EQSYOQ8JJq
It’s been 3 busy weeks since we wrapped up the #China #MarketAccess Programme but what are the 4 key takeaways?

“African economies are small and fragmented,” Muchanga said. “Bilateral agreements reinforce fragmentation of those markets.” https://t.co/P6t3Wmg969
I wonder how long do we have to discuss the issue that GDP is not a good measurement of individual wealth of members of an economy. https://t.co/V4vRG6wplA
Late last month, #Mali became the 40th #African country to sign up to #China's #BeltandRoadInitiative #BRI ht @beltandroadblog

"Let’s not kid ourselves: the pace of change has been extremely slow, with poor people’s daily incomes increasing by only about 2 cents per year" - sobering but hugely important by @jasonhickel. We need new ideas, new solutions @DevReimagined

On #Jamaica's Independence Day, #Kenya's President joins the celebration & prepares to sign #trade deals on #coffee, #tea & #peanuts (ok!), as well as on athletics coaches. World better watch out for Kenyan sprinters and Jamaican marathoners...

Why are there so many comparisons of #African nations, places & people to others? Analogy can be useful, but @Salem_Solomon makes the case that it's lazy journalism mixed in with assumptions around what constitutes "progress"...

"Color blind casting suggests we are going to pretend race doesn't matter, and we all know the ugly side of humanity is race is a consideration at all times"

If in London on 20th September - well worth attending this #ChinaAfrica & #BRI discussion feat @D_Brautigam @lindacalab @davidpilling & @jinnyan84.
These two #trade graphs are quite amazing. Not only for the #China aspect which is quite a transition... But also the fact that the last time an #African economy featured in the Top 15 was in early 80s, and before then late 60s... Is #AfCFTA enough of a rise to the challenge?
There are now 27 #African countries in which #Chinese nationals can arrive without applying for a #visa in advance, and at least 9 countries relaxed visa restrictions since 2016 - great work by old friend Loksan Harley @MigrationPolicy https://t.co/zGaBQOgX4A
Given its role as #China's manufacturing hub, it's not a huge surprise that this southern Chinese city has the most aviation links with #Africa. https://t.co/VxjD9ipcqZ
