what thoughts come to your mind when i say 'Africa'?
Africa has opportunity
Africa has entrepreneurship
900 million people in Africa
how do we best handle solutions to Africa's problems?
Africa is a continent that produces products that they do not consume
Trade vs. Aid
people advocate aid because they believe these handouts will generate change
there is no country in the world that has developed through handouts
we use trade as an engine for growth
when you look at Africa, you don't see the opportunities you see the problems
we need to change the conversation
aid has not been effective
he is presenting the case against aid
aid is really not aid
aid is insincere, it is conditional
aid undermines accountability
we need a new thinking
we need people to think, what is the impact of our compassion?
we need to paint a different picture
Africa is a continent of consumers, innovators
you can make a difference today
