3Good #globaldev thread.
I'd add one more observation...
The need for structural change. Policy matters. Interventions here and there can help temporarily but they are band aids. Development requires development policy. Hard but true reality.
Africa plus Russia summit
Africa plus China summit
Africa plus France summit.
Africa plus 1 summits are increasing. Are they good for 55 countries of Africa?

Infografica di @devreimagined per capire il contesto in cui si è svolto il primo #RussiaAfrica summit (23-24 ott): un continente, l'Africa, pieno di attori internazionali ma anche, e sempre più, di tattiche per sfruttare al meglio le peculiarità di ciascuno. #africanagency https://t.co/sew3Dd6c0x
Most recently the hype about a “new scramble for Africa” has focused on Chinese trade/lending, but I’m surprised at how little attention is being paid to increased links between Russia and the continent. The geopolitical sources of influence in Africa are changing in real time. https://t.co/ztZfjX8sVj
While #investment in #infrastructure is crucial to #sustainabledevelopment across #Africa, we believe there are other promising investment opportunities on the continent. It was a pleasure to join @Winvestnet, CABC, and AMDIE to share our insights.
3118/ Duh! Yes!
@hannahryderr is asking the right question!
African prosperity is inevitable, likely by Bastille Day 2061, centenary of African freedom.
The pace is limited only by the ability of humans to change themselves.

China's poverty reduction was fast. Can Africa's be faster? https://t.co/MGyw8A3imY via @cgtnofficial
#Russia is expanding its footprint in #Africa. What will this mean for #African countries and #development partners such as #China & the #USA? An interesting read ahead of the #RussiaAfricaSummit on Oct. 23-24. https://t.co/80tOw5eH4a
This new study by @UNDPAfrica makes fascinating and important reading. Especially crucial for @OECD #development agencies to digest... #Aid is not the answer the challenges #migrants face at home... We need transformation in economics & politics...

Income gain for migrants: 3 to 1.
Remittances (I suppose during a short time) equal to their home wages, so =>
Net national per capita income at home goes up.
Win-win. https://t.co/n3FuOhsPIe
Released today by @UNDP: remarkably rich data on 1,970 irregular migrants to Europe from 39 African countries.
Those who make it leap ahead, economically, by a generation.
What could deter them? 41% of respondents: "Nothing".
