At the 2025 China–Africa Dialogue on Private Sector Cooperation in Jinhua, our team joined conversations on how African businesses can deepen market access and build long-term value in China. From textiles to tech to cultural exchange, partnerships grow strongest when they are based on mutual benefit and shared ambition. #MadeInAfrica #ChinaAfrica #TradeAndCooperation

Looking forward to facilitating the 5th edition of this critical summit in South Africa over the next 2 days. The demands young people make of governments are similar worldwide, but we have some particular continental challenges - esp. jobs, industrialisation, infrastructure.

“Nigeria needs investment, not war.” Our Peace & Security Policy Lead @OvigweEguegu in an interview with @cgtnafrica says there’s no clear evidence that Christians are being specifically targeted in Nigeria, and that threats of U.S. military intervention are unhelpful. He argued the U.S. should support Nigeria through value-added manufacturing and economic development, not war plans. Watch full interview here: bit.ly/47vOJiA #Trump #Nigeria #peaceandsecurity
On the sidelines of the #IMFWorldBankMeetings in Washington, D.C., we joined @AcetforAfrica and @IEJ_SA for a powerful dialogue on the Borrowers’ Forum and how it can unite countries to reform global finance.

We have just 4% of the world’s infrastructure stock. We can’t do anything without infrastructure, we need to put capital into projects that deliver quick returns.” — @hmryder speaking on the sidelines of the World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings. #WBGMeetings #IMFMeetings

Africa continues to pay the world’s highest price for credit — not because of risk, but because of perception. In his latest column, Farai Muvuti argues it’s time to rebuild global finance on fair, African terms. Read more: southernafricantimes.com/392…

At #UNGA80, Africa’s call for permanent UNSC seats gained visibility but no reform yet. In this interview with @NewsCentralTV , our Policy Analyst @OvigweEguegu explains why African voices at the UNSC are vital: most of the Council’s agenda concerns Africa, yet decisions lack African input. 📺 Watch the full analysis here: bit.ly/4nN4wkl #AfricaUNSC #UNGA80

At 80, the UN is struggling for relevance, weathered yet enduring, stepping up where others hesitate. Critics point to its bureaucracy, sluggishness, and need for reform—they have a point. Yet, we can’t overlook its triumphs: wiping out smallpox, feeding millions, and rebuilding nations Read more 👉 trtafrika.com/english/articl… Opinion | Njoya Tikum

Our policy analyst, @OvigweEguegu , in @EagleIntReports : when African states negotiate solo, bargaining power falls; EU-style bloc bargaining secures better terms-of-trade. With the U.S. focused on critical minerals, the choice is divide-and-extract or collective leverage. 🔗 Read the full analysis: bit.ly/3JW4aII #Africa #Geopolitics

#TICAD9 wrapped up in Yokohama some days ago. For the first time since 2003, Japan made no major financial pledge. Instead, the summit emphasized people-to-people exchanges, cross-border infrastructure projects & private sector engagement. So what does this shift mean? A thread!🧵 👇🏽
🧵Africa holds nearly 30% of the world’s mineral reserves. But for decades, concession agreements have shaped mining like a landlord–tenant relationship: fixed rents for governments, windfall profits for companies. bit.ly/4fNKPWe

Despite periodic reviews, the current #IMF quota formula perpetuates imbalances, favouring high-income countries, which limits the voice and emergency support access for low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa. developmentreimagined.com/ho…
