Growth is not all, and GDP limitations are well known. However, despite ODA decline, highest cost of capital, imported inflation and volatile commodity prices, it is a remarkable proof of resilience that Africa is forecasted to attain the best continental world performance in GDP growth.
@LopesInsights Great!!! .... the real issue remains on how this is translated to impact poverty levels, even very basic human wellbeing parameters such as decent diets and food security
The number of people without #electricity has not increased in ALL AFRICAN COUNTRIES,the countries where access to electricity has increased have also known better education, better health, better housing. #DEVELOPMENT happens when ALL #SECTORS improve.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
Always a pleasure to interact concretely on #FoodSystems transformation with the Senior Management of @jica_direct_en .
Great progress done in promoting the #rice value chain in East African Community. The #Food Basket approach needs to be systematized.
#Japan was destroyed during WW2 and definitely considered a developing nation until 1963; it is now one the most highly “#developed nation”. #Argentina was considered a “developed nation” from 1880 to the 1930s..it is now definitely a “#developing nation” and might stay so for quite a long time….the “Why” is very interesting.
“The deeper lesson of the current crisis is not just that Africa is vulnerable to #shocks originating elsewhere. It is that replacing one external #dependency with another does little to reduce #vulnerability.” @LopesInsights
Here are ten formulas that have had a profound impact on the world:
1. E = mc²: This is Einstein's famous equation, which shows that energy and mass are interchangeable. It underpins our understanding of nuclear energy and led to the development of nuclear weapons.
2. F = ma: This is Newton's second law of motion, which relates force, mass, and acceleration. It helped lay the foundation for modern physics and engineering.
3. PV = nRT: This is the ideal gas law, which describes the behavior of gases. It is used in a wide range of applications, from engineering to chemistry.
4. Pythagorean theorem: This is a fundamental theorem in geometry, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. a² + b² = c² (where a, b, and c are the sides of a right-angled triangle)
5. Schrödinger equation: This is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics, which describes how the wave function of a physical system changes over time. iℏ ∂ψ/∂t = Hψ (where ψ is the wave function, t is time, H is the Hamiltonian operator, and ℏ is the reduced Planck constant)
6. Maxwell's equations: These are a set of equations that describe the behavior of electromagnetic fields. They are used in many areas of physics, including optics and electrical engineering. ∇×E = -dB/dt, ∇×H = J + dD/dt (where E and H are the electric and magnetic fields, B and D are the magnetic and electric flux densities, J is the current density, and t is time)
7. Ohm's law: This law states that the current flowing through a conductor is proportional to the voltage applied across it, with the constant of proportionality being the resistance of the conductor. It is the foundation of electrical engineering. V = IR (where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance)
8. Bernoulli's equation: P₁ + (1/2)ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + (1/2)ρv₂² + ρgh₂ (where P is pressure, ρ is density, v is velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height). Bernoulli’s principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, speed and height.
9. Drake equation: This is an equation that estimates the number of intelligent civilizations in the universe. It has stimulated discussion and research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life. N = RfpneflfifcL (where N is the number of communicating civilizations in our galaxy, R* is the rate of formation of stars in the galaxy, fp is the fraction of stars with planets, ne is the number of habitable planets per star system, fl is the fraction of habitable planets that develop life, fi is the fraction of life-bearing planets that develop intelligent life, fc is the fraction of intelligent civilizations that develop technology capable of interstellar communication, and L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space)
10. Moore's law: This is not a specific formula, but rather an observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years. This has driven the rapid advancement of computer technology over the last several decades.
