Happy to find out that my article "Economic transformation in Africa: What is the role of Chinese firms?" with Prof Tang is among the top 10 most downloaded in the Journal of International Development!

I'll present this at the @IMFNews Africa Dept in a few weeks!

All that is wrong with 'international development' in one thread.

Imagine Bridge 'came' to your country, to fix your schools.

Exactly.

A reflection from @ODI_Global's webinar on agile procurement:

In most places "agile procurement" is sadly an oxymoron.

To succeed in digital transformation projects, we need agile project management & empowered procurement - where people have freedom to be creative & open.

[Abebe Aemro Selassie @aselassie]

Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa is set slow to 3.3% in 2023, reflecting weakening economic activity in some of the region’s largest economies. We expect growth to rebound to 4% in 2024. 1/n

MDBs must do so much more to address today's global challenges.

So what are their priorities & ideas for reform?

We invited MDB leaders to share their views.
