"The conventional wisdom that Africa’s population growth is bad for development and poverty reduction may be wrong. The country case studies are well researched and provide many useful information, even for an old Africa hand". @HafezGhanem_Dev

🇰🇪 Las ambiciones exportadoras de #Kenia dependen de más que el crecimiento económico. Fortalecer las instituciones, apoyar la innovación, eficiencia del sector público y ayudar a las pequeñas empresas a acceder a los #mercados globales son pasos clave para impulsar la competitividad y atraer #inversiones.

“The vast majority of athletes that we’ve brought in, especially from Africa, for instance, they send most of their salaries home,” says Haley Carter, president of soccer operations for Washington Spirit. “They have built academies. They have built foundations. They have built schools. So, you know, you talk about the ability for women to change the lives in their communities because of the opportunity that they’re getting here in the United States is just incredible.”

As 2027 nears, political #zoning is reshaping Kenya's democracy. Stability or reduced voter choice? Can elite deals coexist with real competition? @DJattani @georgediano @AfricaDemocracy @Fromagehomme @kopalo @theelephantinfo @cobbo3

Despite near #parity in schooling, #women still face major barriers in jobs, earnings, and decision-making. Why? Because #education alone isn’t enough. Deep-rooted social norms and structural constraints continue to limit opportunities, even for the educated.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Many people may be above the extreme #poverty line but still far from a secure and prosperous #life. Looking at poverty through a higher benchmark reveals a different reality, and a bigger development #challenge.

Poverty is a policy choice that starts with how we design our tax systems.

In @guardian, #ICRICT co-chairs @JosephEStiglitz & @Jayati1609 and commissioner @PikettyWIL join 350+ signatories: rewrite the rules that manufacture poverty.

If high energy prices persist for a year, they will slow global growth, hurting emerging economies more than advanced economies. Countries more dependent on Middle Eastern oil, natural gas, & fertilizers would experience the largest hits to GDP. #PIIECharts

How do you cultivate a flexible mind? Get to know how your mind works. Some people explore it through meditation. Others use therapy, art, or sports.

When thousands take to the streets, it’s not chaos — it’s a message about trust. And its collapse. @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA
