GETSPA

We must re-establish the link between finance and holistic development to drive sustainable development. For Africa, this means using our natural, human, and financial resources, not just to generate wealth, but to reinvest in the future of our people and communities. Botswana is a shining example of this approach. The country has achieved significant economic and social progress by reinvesting revenues from its diamond industry into education, infrastructure, and healthcare. This is the blueprint. Leveraging resources to build wealth, reduce inequalities, and transform our economies for the long term. Africa has the potential. Let’s commit to reinvesting in our development!

@BritzGBL Inclusivity and transparency go hand in hand. If a committee probing unethical medical practices lacks gender balance, it raises valid questions about whose perspectives shape the process.

A 7-member committee to probe unethical medical practices in our major hospitals and not a single woman on it? 👀
