In Washington, what we saw was South Africa in all its complexity diverse, contradictory, real. Ramaphosa’s delegation—a white minister, two golf champions—wasn’t random. It was a chorus, not a note. Strategic communication at its sharpest. #RamaphosaMeetsTrump

Blended Finance is increasingly featured as a key de-risking tool to scale up investment in African FCS – it is a tool that can help fragile countries move forward by addressing critical financing gaps. @IFCAfrica@IFC_org@WorldBank@BidcoGroup@Rapti_WBG @AfricaLD #CASA10
"Refugees create their own economy. Look @kakuma, refugee and host community entrepreneurs have created an economy worth $56 million annually. The private sector and refugees are not two separate entities." - @S_Cansizoglu@UNHCR_Kenya#CASA10#WithRefugees
Refugees lack equal opportunities due to hosting policies that circumvent their rights to work and move around. If private sector is going to be a tool in refugee empowerment, they will have to lobby for policy changes ~ Joanna https://t.co/ewxyRGkOow Berry @WorldBank#CASA10
Rajesh Agrawal: The infrastructure has to come first then the business will follow. Telkom infrastructure has become the real infrastructure because with it you can be able to connect with people remotely through calls & the internet. #CASA10@IFC_org@IFCAfrica @AfricaLD
@SNVworld@SNV_RE@S_Cansizoglu@UNHCR_Kenya Mr. Sukru's speech and the #CASA10 19th anniversary in Nairobi, Kenya. Very touching, a true projection of the refugee situation in Kakuma. Kakuma is a market for private sector investments = opportunities for refugees.
For the 10 years of its CASA program, IFC invited me to share my expertise on the reforms to be carried out to favor the development of the private sector in fragile African countries
