When an outbreak makes the headlines, misinformation often follows.
That’s why we sat down with ONE’s Director of Health Financing for Africa, Dr. William Menson, to break down what’s happening in the DRC and Uganda, what makes this Ebola outbreak different, and the actions that need to follow.
Outbreaks like this remind us of what’s at stake.
Strong health systems, early detection, and sustained global health investments help save lives and make all of us safer.
Watch through for the facts, and share this post with your network to help spread awareness. 🌍

But the evidence is already everywhere. See more below for the proof that Africa makes the world. ⬇️

Africa’s creativity powers global culture but too often, the ownership and economic value don’t stay on the continent.

As we look forward to Africa Day on May 25, our Diaspora Creative Council member Danielle Alakija explores why the future of Africa’s creative economy must be built on ownership, authorship, and long-term investment — not just global recognition — because Africa makes the world.
