🧠#DYK the most impactful actions you can take for the climate aren’t composting and recycling, but ditching your gas car and swapping flights for Zoom calls?

The startup ecosystem in #Uganda is thriving thanks to dynamic actors such as @Renew_Capital @ConvergenceBF @EAVCA. From coffee to fintech to social impact investing the ideas and innovations were on display at this #ARFSD2025 side event. #developmentfinance #SDGs

@2x_global @USAID Hey team. Can you please clarify the deadline for us? 11:59 or 23:59 tomorrow?

Wonderful to celebrate (23/4) the end (at least of this phase) of my 25 year career as a civil servant with brilliant, committed colleagues and a few surprise guests. It has been a privilege.

My parting messages for the challenges ahead:

1/8 (apologies for late post)

Anne’s passion for Manotick has led to improved pathways, parks, and other community amenities. She never gave up on the vision for a dock in Mahogany Harbour and we finally achieved that because of her. Thank you, Anne!

Great to read @snolen’s reporting in @nytimes on South Africa’s excellent public health effort.

Just received my copy of the latest @RENEWLLC annual impact report. I love it. #ethiopia #investinafrica

@coops_one Hi Matt. Trying to reach someone at crowdcube to ask about your App Supdate - do you know if it's been shut down by Crowdcube? Site's been down for days for me and my investors can't access the reports I sent them...

[Lucas Robinson @Lucas381]

So happy to see this taking shape!

Hi Universe: we have a fancy newsletter to share with you. It contains beautiful imagery as well. What more could you ask for on a (mid-pandemic) Monday night??!

Great!

A failed experiment 5 years ago. (Failed because no one used it). But we still need a good birr sign.

[Lucas Robinson @Lucas381]

@andrewtgraham Indeed - a shining example in so many ways. Canada and the world are better off thanks to her efforts.

[Lucas Robinson @Lucas381]

@SamRosmarin @flyethiopian w/ was dumb of those countries. I would expect most of Africa’s cargo to come in under human travelers; ET only have 12 cargo planes, no? They’ve said they will continue to places like Zim as long as commercially viable - so $ will surely be needed ASAP to ensure that’s the case.

4 years in Zimbabwe comes to an end this Friday when I return to Scotland

Zimbabwe has some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and some of the most beautiful landscapes on this planet

Got married along the way so will be taking a piece of Zimbabwe with me. Highlights below

@allontheline I'm trying to unsubscribe from your emails (having never subscribed in the first place) but the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of your emails is taking me to a @Medium article by Katie Hogan. That's not cool.

[Limalimo Lodge @LimalimoLodge]

We'll be at We Are Africa and Conservation Lab this year. Drop us a line if you'd like to meet there! #CapeTown #weareafrica #conslab #madeinethiopia

Good read from @StephenBrown3 on Cdn foreign aid. Disappointed the political will isn't there, but is it only politics standing in the way? Much could be done without Min. engagement. Why is civil service so slow to action what it knows to be right? https://t.co/wma2y6z1vw #ODA
