Building wealth and impact.

[Jahazi @jahazicity]

What’s one thing you’ve built (or tried to build) in Africa that outsiders said was ‘impossible’ or ‘too early’? What actually happened?

[Rose Tumsiime @itsroseth]

@patrickaigbogun Yes we need trees but the real problem isn’t trees.

[Rose Tumsiime @itsroseth]

😅My unpopular opinion I think Africa doesn’t need a lot of climate advocates the type who think planting trees will save the continent.

We need more people who understand infrastructure, development and finance and can be on top advocating for it.

[Augustin Githaka @AugustinGithaka]

@RosethRwegasira correct and infact the obsession with environmentalism and climate change will deepen poverty

[Rose Tumsiime @itsroseth]

@willyNgendahayo 😅with that $2M, 80% ends up in meetings. We will get youth volunteers to plant.

Trusting Tz banks is another level of trust. 🤨How are we going cashless!!??

Tried like 3 banks, nothing is working. 🫩No any notification to customers.

I should stick moving money in stable coin.

@nickyrabit 🫩Isn’t a red flag for investors?

Tz startup ecosystem is driven by aids/grant. Grants can be good on derisking some businesses (not apps) but there are tradeoffs if they are not structured based on results.
Instead of hubs reporting no businesses are trained we want to see more how many have 2x revenue.

Everyone needs to be at @_zanzalu once in lifetime.

I used to make a yearly pilgrimage to BurningMan.

Now I go to @_zanzalu.

I once overheard someone describe it as:

“Burning Man, but with fewer drugs and more intellectual and artistic energy.”

This week I have spent time on one of UNIDO A2D Facility.

In this facility green hydrogen is used to transform agriculture sector in communities living in desert.

Africa being biggest importer of fertilizer, this project showcase productive use of energy support food security

Women are central to the energy transition, yet significant gaps remain.

From workforce representation to energy access, empowering women in the energy sector is essential for achieving SDG7 and a just transition.
