Very interesting to read @NEPAD_Mayaki : "It is becoming increasingly clear now that we are transitioning to a “post-ODA” world....]So what does a win-win outcome look like for Africa and the rest of the world? For starters, it should focus on empowering smallholder farmers who..

In any era of #change, it is easy for international collaboration to simply recede. But instead, we must reimagine how the relationship between #Africa and the world is structured, based upon the principles of mutual #selfinterest and #agency.

Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Chad saw the largest increases in tax revenues as a share of GDP in Africa in 2023 (4.9 p.p., 4.5 p.p. and 3.4 p.p., respectively), driven by higher corporate income tax revenues from the oil sector.

@LyAissata223 Chère @LyAissata223 , le plus important c'est que les sacrifices que nos chers compatriotes ont fait pour notre éducation primaire, secondaire et universitaire NE SOIENT PAS VAINS.

La construction durable d'un pays commence par l'indépendance intellectuelle. A bon entendeur.

After years in the making, I am happy to share a new guide for gravity estimations. Our recommendations are motivated by trade, but most of them apply broadly, e.g., to migration, FDI, etc. Mario, @SergeShikher, and I hope this is useful. Gravity rules 💪

The human brain has a preference for simple shapes.

We're hardwired to remember:

• Straight lines over curves
• Circles over complex polygons
• Basic patterns over intricate designs

75% of consumer perceptions are influenced by simple shapes and colors.

C’est une véritable prouesse que le #Burkina Faso réalise sous la conduite de S.E. @CapitaineIb226, montrant qu’il est possible de conjuguer #défense nationale et développement #économique sans #diplômes prestigieux ni #dépendance extérieure. L’inauguration de l’usine de #transformation de tomates à Bobo-Dioulasso en est un symbole fort. Avec un coût de réalisation de plus de 8 milliards de FCFA, cette infrastructure a été achevée en seulement 462 jours, grâce à une mobilisation populaire orchestrée par l’APEC (Agence pour la Promotion des Entreprises Communautaires).
« Ce projet démontre qu’avec une volonté collective, nous pouvons bâtir des infrastructures structurantes malgré les défis sécuritaires », a souligné Karim Traoré, Directeur général de l’APEC.

#Pidaweek2024 - nous avons publié le premier rapport d’évaluation de la mise en œuvre du programme des Postes Frontières Juxtaposés (OSBP en anglais)… les 4 indicateurs de performance que nous avons utilisé (le temps de traitement, les volumes échangés, les processus de traitement, la qualité des infrastructures physiques) nous ont permis de montrer 1) que de bonnes infrastructures physiques réduisent les temps de traitement et augmentent les volumes échangés, et 2) la qualité d’exécution des processus de traitement des procédures dans les postes frontières est fonction de la qualité des infrastructures physiques… enfin, 3) les postes frontières juxtaposés augmentent de manière significative les échanges entre nos pays et partant sont importants pour la #ZLECAF… le lien de la présentation du rapport est ici 👇🏾

🌍 Catch Up on the High-Level Panel on accelerating preparation and financing of transboundary water projects!

If you missed the insightful discussions, the High-Level Panel, co-convened by AUDA-NEPAD, @GWPnews, and the @WorldBankAfrica, delved into strategies for accelerating the preparation and financing of transboundary water projects in Africa.

The panel highlighted the urgent need to overcome the challenges of funding, capacity gaps, and institutional weaknesses that hinder the preparation of water projects across borders. Discussions focused on resource mobilisation, stakeholder collaboration, and financing models that could drive impactful change. The session showcased best practices and case studies from successful projects, including the Angololo Multipurpose Water Resources Development Project, 1 of 15 water projects in PIDA PAP 2.

This project, currently at the Project Structuring Stage, illustrates significant progress in transboundary water management, with Kenya and Uganda working together to address water security challenges in the region. The project is advancing through its technical, financial, and legal frameworks, setting the stage for large-scale investment and long-term sustainability.
