Excellent news that @AfDB_Group has successfully launched its Fight COVID-19 social bond on the @LSEGplc’s sustainable bond market, today. The $3bn #socialbond aims to alleviate the economic & social impact of #COVID19 across #Africa. https://twitter.com/LSEplc/status/1245970520065150980
Informative! https://twitter.com/devreimagined/status/1245907121671032832
"The pandemic has forced much of Africa’s elite into a unique situation where it’s no longer possible to fly to the U.K., France or India to see a doctor, a practice that’s become commonplace even among the affluent middle class." @DulueMbachu https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-02/trapped-by-coronavirus-nigeria-s-elite-faces-squalid-hospitals?cmpid=BBD040320_AFRICA&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=200403&utm_campaign=africa&sref=Cm5FLCGP
Africa is not a single country. Gr8 analysis & infographics by @DevReimagined on how different African countries are both being impacted & responding to Covid-19. Want to know who has highest number of cases? Want to know which countries are & aren't on lockdown? It's all here
4NEW #INFOGRAPHIC: How is #COVID19 affecting #Africa? While cases on the continent still remain a small % of global totals, and countries are being affected very differently, our analysis shows that all are taking action #FactsNotFear #africaresponds
4Rich countries have considered four possible strategies for tackling #COVID19:
1) Uncontrolled spread
2) Lockdown without income replacement
3) Lockdown with income replacement
4) Testing and containment
What is feasible for countries in #Africa?

@JDevermont @CSISAfrica the Mauritius plan isnt the worst idea
#African #oilexporters are paying for the price #contraction. #Oil on sale is not good for #government’s balance sheets.
Happy 10 year #anniversary Sinica! You’ve been a #vital source of #information for us as we do work in the #ChinaAfrica #development space 🚀
We are proud to be associated with and support the growth of an #African business re-purposing during the #COVID19 crisis to #savelives #makingadifference #Leadership
#China's Government & businesses are scaling up their support to #African countries to beat #COVID19, potentially to levels beyond the support provided for the #Ebola outbreak in 2014/15. But what can be improved, from an African, recipient-country perspective? Our 4 suggestions:
Does #Africa need a unique response to #COVID19? We usually argue that there is no one-size-fits-all for African countries, but we also agree with @wef
that there are some key challenges at continent level - age; other diseases; poor health systems, etc. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/why-sub-saharan-africa-needs-a-unique-response-to-covid-19/

#Resilience is the big buzz word now in #supplychain management. But establishing resilience in #government, #society, and in fighting #inequality is also paramount to #development. https://africanarguments.org/2020/03/27/surviving-covid-19-fragility-resilience-and-inequality-in-zimbabwe/
It seems that the trends on western think tank agendas and media outlets alike are starting to shift — away from the tired tropes and towards focusing on African nations as business destinations! We’ve been trumpeting this all along in our consulting work. https://brook.gs/2H54lA7
Right now #Africa's leaders are focused on mitigating #COVID19's #health effects. But our analysis suggests the #economic effects could disproportionately affect the smallest, poorest economies - new @Diplomat_APAC op-ed by @hmryder & Angela Benefo:
