“Understanding human geography is mission-critical. It reveals what people look like, what they think, and how they behave. It enables one to interpret human behaviors and attitudes over space and time, as well as delineate physical, political, and cultural borders.”@JDevermont

In @WarOnTheRocks , Fraym board member @JDevermont explains why human geography is mission critical.

“Persistent, widespread unrest in Africa is not a foregone conclusion… the region’s challenges require high-level attention, sufficient resources, and creativity. Washington must execute its new vision and implement new policies, programs, and partnerships.” - @JDevermont

When the international order breaks down, it has disproportionately negative consequences for sub-Saharan Africa. My latest in @ForeignAffairs on the U.S. response — successes, setbacks, and what more can be done.

I am proud to share my first piece since returning to @CSIS as a senior advisor. I delve into the history of CIA analysis on African leaders -- and how these assessments prepare U.S. presidents for meetings with African counterparts. 🧵

@a_natalegawa & Gregory Poling argue for more public and elite opinion polling in SE Asia "so the USA can better understand how it is being perceived, target initiatives where they can have the greatest impact, and judge year-over-year progress." I couldn't agree more

From his testimony: “In FY21, over 95 percent of USAID's non-humanitarian assistance funding was directed towards a specific allocation. Years in advance, no one can foresee and allocate funding for fleeting windows of opportunity to provide aid where Africans are most in need.”

A late, but resounding AMEN to @USAfricaCommand commander Gen Langley for calling on Congress to give @USAID more flexible spending in Africa.

Very pleased to see the @StateDept recognizing the value of SUBNATIONAL
We at @fraym_io have been on to it for some time

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Our foreign policy will be more effective for all Americans when it better reflects the experiences of the American people. I’m very pleased to welcome back to the Department Ambassador Nina Hachigian as our first Special Representative for Subnational Diplomacy.

"Gates Foundation partner @fraym_io found that investing $1 in childcare services spurs $3 in economic activity in Nigeria. That jumps to $7 in both Kenya and South Africa."

As @SecBlinken announces the new US/Africa strategy, it's backed by a lot of experienced but "new" faces:
- New NSC Africa Director: @JDevermont
- New @USAfricaCommand: Gen. Michael Langley
- Newly confirmed Asst Admin for @USAIDAfrica: @MondeMuyangwa
Who else am I missing?

@charlesjkenny @MCCgov @gamblingondev Agreed. I wonder what indicators could be more “real time” and even “leading” — they probably make a more efficacious scorecard. Worth noodling on.

[Rob Morello @RNMorello]

@charlesjkenny @MCCgov @charlesjkenny a potentially interesting lens: does the scorecard reflect in anyway that elites has struck a “development bargain,” indicating outsiders should invest ala @gamblingondev
