WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
The latest #SinoAfrica analysis from @AubreyHruby not only compares Chinese with U.S. engagement on the continent but also looks to offer the Trump administration policy advice on how best to compete with China. Very much worth reading. https://t.co/3WLYFM5tIx
Excellent piece on what to and what not to focus on when investing in & working with #African countries - by @pgomesKA
#Africa's #fintech sector grew considerably (60%) but still lagged behind. Global fintech growth was 120% in 2018. Value wise, Africa only accounts for 0.3%. We need more... https://t.co/ONTLouiUPm
Just finished @hofrench’s A Continent for the Taking and China’s 2nd Continent. Read b2b, they provide the most insightful framework to understand Africa for anyone conducting work there in any capacity. Most insightful: China’s presence is so much more DIY than people think.
Adjustment is key here. Debt is not static but dynamic. It can be restructured. What matters is how debt is negotiated, contracts awarded transparency & local content key to control costs. Transparency 2 citizens about debt: key for our Gov to avoid vanity projects. https://t.co/sxN2650UQO
More: @TheEconomist talks of poor countries, stereotyping such a diverse group of countries.

@DukeMarcude Regarding the widely-held misperception China is similar to the former European imperial powers in Africa, I highly recommend an interview that we did with @hmryder who is among the leading experts on this issue: https://t.co/7clFf8EVh3. I'd be interested to hear what you think.
“There is an opportunity for China to help Africa improve its trading relationship with the rest of the world," says Development Reimagined CEO @hmryder at @wef’s Summer Davos in Dalian earlier this month.

What a tragedy. And this is a country that was bumped up to "Middle Income Status" in 2014. Reminds me of what @DonaldKaberuka said several years ago: "You cannot eat GDP." Growth statistics mean little if babies are dying like this in one of your major public hospitals. https://t.co/2NPExdnVhM
If you, like me, are on a journey to try to make sense of the rising markets of the Global South -- what makes them distinct and what ties them together -- follow @AfshinMolavi and his new project @TheNewSilkRoad2 https://t.co/uyLNJ6it48

Küresel ticaretin geleceği Çin değil, Afrika. 1,2 milyar güçlü bir nüfus - çoğu iş için aç ve genç, değer zincirini yükseltmeye çalışan küçük çiftçiler ve verimli topraklar. Afrikalılar da giderek daha fazla teknoloji meraklısı ve kentsel. https://t.co/2UHdG7dVhV @hmryder
"Africa Reimagined." founded by @hmryder brought 7 sustainable African brands to #China for a pioneering China market entry bespoke program https://t.co/y4XzAwxaDp
@Guangzhihuang I do not believe that a pre-20th century political construct like "colonialism" is practical to understand contemporary trends related to Chinese engagement in Africa. I highly recommend you listen to an interview we did with @hmryder on this topic: https://t.co/7clFf8nkpv
An important message for #globaldev #agriculture folk in #Africa.
Israel succeeded in #agritech because it developed a system for #techmology implementation, distribution & diffusion. It's called value chains & market systems, backed by entrepreneurs, farmer groups & the gov't. https://t.co/aMXCiWUY0F
To actually solve global problems like #climatechange but many others too we need structural, holistic answers... Are we finally getting there?
