“The potential in African countries is huge: we have land, we have water, we have the workforce and the technology has evolved.”

@ousmane_diagana, Regional VP of Western & Central Africa for @WorldBank on the linkage between food production and #transport systems at #TTDC23

Prime Minister of Côte D’Ivoire @ACHIPatrick4 says 🇨🇮 needs 4 things to improve food production:

🚧 Road Maintenance
💨 Accessible #transport systems that are active year-round
💰 Financing for small businesses
🌾 Storage + distribution to reduce post-harvest loss

#TTDC23

[CNBC Africa @cnbcafrica]

[WATCH] Africa’s development is highly dependent on an adequate, reliable road system. But climate change is expected to take a heavy toll on the region’s transport infrastructure, especially roads and bridges.
