@jamesonen The current economic interests & movement of people will forge a "balkanisation" over a long period of time. This has already slowly creeped in with the dying languages & merging ways of life we are seeing. The intermarriages & "cross-breeding" we see.

@SpireJim Autoimmune disorders like Lupus are hard to deal with. Some reports say hemp helps to relive the pain it causes.

I have sent my humble contribution to Zawedde Rebecca. 🙏

The upgraded African Infrastructure Database now creates an improvement platform for the Nile River Basin Infrastructure Program, which strengthens opportunities for visibility and collaboration for infrastructure developments that go beyond saving lives to enhancing livelihoods

[AUDA-NEPAD @NEPAD_Agency]

Experts from six regional institutions gathered to advance a critical digital public good. AUDA-NEPAD and the Nile River Basin Investment Program (NRBIP) equipped teams with the African Infrastructure Database (AID) Tool and created a seamless digital ecosystem where climate-resilient projects become visible and fundable and actionable for communities across the Nile Basin.

At the heart of this effort is the Nile River Basin Investment Program (NRBIP), a flagship initiative reversing environmental degradation and unlocking socio-economic transformation for millions who depend on the Nile. Updated project profiles now flow into integrated dashboards and connect institutional websites directly to resource mobilisation portals that serve the public interest.

This wasn't just capacity building. It created a public infrastructure for ensuring every community along the Nile has access to resilient energy and clean water and economic opportunity. With Germany's BMZ support, we are transforming climate challenges into shared prosperity for all through digital public goods.

Pres. Uhuru used to sneak out of State House at night and intelligence sorted the problem.

"That is how intelligence is supposed to work."🤣🤣
