Now @hmryder @DevReimagined underlining Africa's need for more infrastructure, now & huge financing needs for SDGs https://developmentreimagined.com/portfolio-posts/infrastructure-financing-needs-forecasting-analysis/
Hannah Ryder @DevReimagined: What next? African institutions that know the continent, the challenges towards SDG2030, understand the ambition of the continent rather pursuing national interests, should be the depository of SDRs
Hannah Ryder @DevReimagined: In Chinese lending, it is the national local law of recipients that is the real benchmark, not the donor or the creditor who imposes the standards. It is up to the [recipient] government to say this is what our requirements are.

"As Africans prepare for #COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh later this year, #African officials at all levels must not forget the role of strengthening partnerships with different development partners – particularly #China." -analyst @EtsehiwotKebret

"Far too often the focus of debt restructuring discussions is on lowering the quantity of debt – but there is both theory and evidence to suggest that the quality of debt matters just as much," says @hmryder, CEO of @DevReimagined. https://african.business/2022/06/finance-services/imf-bailout-alone-will-not-solve-zambias-debt-crisis/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1656518350
#China is a different type of #development partner than other bilateral partners, with different methods and ways - and it’s important for #African civil society, journalists and publics to understand this. Our CEO on @ResistBureau’s latest podcast. Watch it here!
