As the #IMF and #WorldBank gear up for their annual meetings next week, much attention is being focused on creating new funds, new instruments. Is this really where attention should focus for greatest impact? Here are a few pieces of analysis that question this narrative.
🧵

The summit will, inter alia, provide high level political advocacy and policy guidance on the recently adopted African Commodity Strategy and its Action Plan. https://twitter.com/UNIDO/status/1446100809851281411
We long for the days when #Africa will be home for #NobelPrize laureates in the sciences like other global players and not home for awards in Peace and Literature only. https://twitter.com/MahaShuayb/status/1445396841739309056
"Some countries don't act on climate change due to a sense of entitlement and inertia". Our CEO @hmryder says #African countries must make concrete proposals for disruptive climate action by wealthier countries at #COP26 - in @AfricanBizMag.
2How do African countries intend to engage with China ? What has the formal relationship stretching approx 20 years under #FOCAC achieved sa far? Should there be a different strategy for #Africa in this relationship? @DevReimagined showcases these ideas in its #Blueprint 👇 https://twitter.com/DevReimagined/status/1445374186273320963

In the only region where road density has declined in the last two decades, basic infrastructure remains elusive. This could be anywhere in tropical Africa. This, and not some arcane "Great Power Competition" is the driving motivation of state behavior in Africa. https://twitter.com/MartialMukeba/status/1444738982395490308
Preparations for the next #China-#Africa summit are gearing up. Given our expertise in this area, we are being asked to share our views & ideas for future outcomes. Our CEO @hmryder recently did so re: health cooperation. Watch & read her 4 points here:

Why is there a global supply chain crisis? And do we all need to reduce consumption or is this something that multilateral orgs like @UNCTAD @wto and @IMOHQ can help fix? @OsaruOmosigho writes for @Diplomat_APAC.

While a few factors are involved: power cuts in China shows that the global energy transition won't be smooth even for rich/strong countries. But as inconveniencing as it is, the consequences of the alternative (not cutting carbon emission) will be worse.

The Global Gateway: Response to China or Solution for a European Problem? http://dlvr.it/S8gFjT Asia #Diplomat
I am pleased to share this piece I wrote for the diplomat where I examine whether the EU`s recent launch of the Global Gateway was a response to China`s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) or a solution to a European problem #thediplomat #globalgateway #china

Should the #AfCFTA use as its basis traditional intellectual property rules? Or are there alternative policies out there? Our policy brief for @CGDev looks at lessons for #Africa from #China since joining the #WTO, as well as models of #openinnovation. https://www.cgdev.org/publication/chinas-model-innovation-are-there-lessons-african-countries
