Putin’s war will reverberate across #Africa.

If we take our eye off that ball, there are lots of dominoes that will fall and many people will suffer.

Enjoyed the thread from @Noahpinion but this graph is the one that stands out. A (young) Africa is the future of humanity....

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

3/Here's another view.

And remember, Africa's proportion of the YOUNG population will be far larger even than this graph shows.

The future of Africa is literally the future of humanity.

One of our main goals in our fight against #COVID19 is that nobody gets left behind. This is why we are backing COVAX, the global vaccine initiative to accelerate⏩ our efforts and enable access to safe and effective vaccines💉 for everyone. #TeamEurope https://t.co/lQcnJXbHhP

Great discussion on impact investments in the private sector with @EIB @GDNint @campbellreviews @EDFInetwork. Still can't get used to the virtual format though!

[Richard Amor @_RichardAmor]

This is great work done by @EIB @EU_Commission teams to support the Covax initiative with @gavi. It is vital to ensure fair and equitable access to successful vaccines - this is how we will beat Covid.

[European Investment Bank @EIB]

🔴#JustIn EIB Board of Directors approved a €400m backing for the COVAX initiative, co-led by @gavi, @cepivaccines & @WHO, to ensure global access to #COVID19 vaccine & scale up vaccine manufacturing.

Great thread. Thanks @cwjones89

[Christopher W. Jones @cwjones89]

Dear Twitter, I have spent a lot of time in the past two years working on this thing called my 'dissertation.'

What is Christopher doing, you may wonder?

In this thread I will explain my dissertation:

[European Investment Bank @EIB]

What do a greengrocer in #BurkinaFaso, residents of climate-resilient housing in the #DominicanRepublic, and a #Uganda bank financing women's businesses all have in common? A €1.4B investment by the #EIB in 2019 in Africa, the Caribbean & the Pacific. 👉 https://t.co/3TRtb5dqwC

EIB expert Christian Elias says #COVID19 has changed our understanding of what's important for development finance esp. in terms of public sector loans - he says our partnership on health with @gatesfoundation is key https://t.co/Y5eafcoo7P #UnitedAgainstCoronavirus #TeamEurope
