MARRAKESH, MOROCCO. Big decisions are looming on the future of development finance. But it’s hard to cut through the noise. So here are the 4⃣ things you need to know. #WBMeetings #IMFMeetings #WorldBank @WorldBank @IMFNews @CarnegieEndow @ECFR

@gyude_moore It is quite fascinating to hear the speaking from both sides of the mouth. “Electric cars at the future…and …”the prices are too low”. I really don’t get the point. I thought we should be hailing the Chinese for making the transition quicker.

😂😂😂 We need affordable EVs to hasten the transition. Why doesn’t von der Leyen like nice things?

@hurrayforfacts @gyude_moore It’s really strange to hear “we do not accept this from inside our markets”

@gyude_moore Wait until she learns about EU agriculture subsidies.

A bit like the #COVID19 crisis showed us how even the most axiomatic truth: that viruses don’t respect borders, didn’t mean that the leaders of the world didn’t treat it as a national beggar-thy-neighbour issue. So if political vision won’t get us there, what will?

Some good news: after 7 years of concerted effort, Nigeria has launched its public beneficial ownership register. Kudos to @edwindaniels1, @Stan_Achonu, @OpenOwnership and many others who fought hard for this. openownership.org/en/news/nigeri…

A group of African Finance Ministers is calling for global financial architecture reform that delivers for Africa, including: ✅ More low-interest money ✅ A solution to the debt crisis ✅ Confirming the African Union as a full G20 member @AcetforAfrica businessghana.com/site/news/gene…

The Gulf states and Norway are examples of how state parties can break the resource curse and use resources for beneficiation. African countries are still politiking and mouthing intention without the action that puts them really in charge.

When resources are discovered in a location, it automatically becomes a mlitarized zone. Land defenders die daily depending their rights. This cannot exist with any development agenda.

Has democracy given Africa good governance of its natural resources? Super conversation going on the historical and political economy of colonial transition and the modern states of Africa. @The_SARWatch @PWYPtweets

We are not lambasting African gvts for the sake of it bt for their failure to try to implement liberation objectives & agreements beyond attaining independence - Prof Siphamandla Zondi @The_SARWatch #TheResourceDiplomacy #ResourceGovernance

Citizens have abandoned their duty to protect their sovereignty and allowing bad leadership to go on unchecked. The nature of citizenship we have produces the type of unaccountable leadership we see. - Prof Siphamandla Zondi @The_SARWatch #ResourceDiplomacy #ResourceGovernance
