Had a great time talking to the students of @RwandaPolytec/@TumbaCollegeTCT with President @EmmanuelMacron & Tidjane Thiam. Explained the rationale behind IFC's new $1 billion initiative to support African #MSMEs & the soon-to-be-launched Alliance for Entrepreneurship in #Africa.

Delighted to launch #TellMeHow, a policy podcast by the @WorldBank, hosted by yours truly. The goal? Seeking to help people change the way they think about infrastructure & economics. Check out the 1st episode on #CoalTransition: https://t.co/B6WYrBBry1

La crise du #coronavirus révèle l’inégale répartition des bienfaits de la technologie. Plus que jamais, assurer un accès universel à l’#Internet n’est pas un luxe, mais une nécessité. Ma tribune pour @LeMonde_Afrique : https://t.co/nRwql2bI94

Great high-level meeting today with @GSMA, @ITU & @WEF to leverage the power of #DigitalTech to tackle #COVID19. #Telecom ministers & tech industry players showed strong public-private sector collaboration & agreed on actions to keep countries connected: https://t.co/y2Wid4J9BG

Truly enjoyed our discussion on the urgent need to #ConnectAfrica through #broadband by 2030. This goal has a $100 billion price tag, but I’m convinced we can do it if we work together. Special thanks to @Mbele_Roberts for moderating this important event. https://t.co/lcC8vX9RKd

Je n'ai pas de mot assez fort pour exprimer la douleur que je ressens face à #NotreDame ravagée par les flammes. Ce soir, tous les Parisiens et Français pleurent cet emblème de notre Histoire commune. De notre devise, nous tirerons la force de nous relever. Fluctuat nec mergitur.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Notre-Dame de Paris en proie aux flammes. Émotion de toute une nation. Pensée pour tous les catholiques et pour tous les Français. Comme tous nos compatriotes, je suis triste ce soir de voir brûler cette part de nous.

Kasomo's story breaks my heart and gives me hope. We and our partners are proud to support the people of #DRC as they fight every day to contain the latest #Ebola outbreak & build a stronger future. https://t.co/xA8P8e2UpF

@bsebti @WorldBankAfrica Thank you so much for your support. The credit goes to the health workers and community activists who are working tirelessly to stop #Ebola

This week, I’m traveling to Africa for the first time since I left office – a continent of wonderful diversity, thriving culture, and remarkable stories. As I prepare for this trip, I wanted to share a list of books that I’d recommend for summer reading: https://t.co/W4Jc0N23iy

Pour la première fois, une femme est élue à la tête de Mexico. Félicitation à @Claudiashein. Il y a désormais 22 femmes à la tête des grandes villes du monde membres du @C40cities ! #TheFutureIsFemale #Women4Climate
