Empowering People: A Global Vision for Growth

  A Call to Action: Investing in Africa's People for Innovation and Growth

A historic meeting of African leaders from 43 countries took place at the inaugural Africa Human Capital Heads of State Summit, jointly convened by the Tanzanian government and the World Bank. The goal of the summit was to address the pressing need for investment in Africa's human capital, recognizing its critical role in driving innovation, productivity, resilience, and growth on the continent. The summit also emphasized the urgency of harnessing the potential of Africa's young and rapidly growing population and creating opportunities for productive employment.   Unlocking the Potential: Sub-Saharan Africa's Human Capital Index Challenges Sub-Saharan Africa currently faces a significant challenge in its Human Capital Index (HCI) score, which stands at a mere 0.40, indicating that the region is operating at just 40% of its productivity potential. This score places it at the lowest position among all world regions. Key barriers to reaching full potential include limited access to quality health and education services, hindering the realization of children and young people's potential. Shockingly, approximately 89% of 10-year-olds in the region struggle to read and understand a simple text, highlighting the depth of the challenge.   Confronting Crises: A Compounding Effect The situation has been further compounded by various crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and climate change-induced droughts and floods. These adversities have exacerbated existing challenges, making it even more crucial to address the pressing issues surrounding human capital investment in Africa.  

The Dar es Salaam Declaration: Paving the Path for Progress

In response to these challenges, the African leaders forged the Dar es Salaam Declaration. This milestone agreement consists of tangible financial and policy commitments, signifying a collective pledge to prioritize investments in people. The declaration recognizes that Africa's most valuable asset is its people, and there is an urgent need to act swiftly and strategically to unleash its full potential.   Reaping the Demographic Dividend One of the key goals of the Dar es Salaam Declaration is to unlock a demographic dividend. With a burgeoning youth population, Africa has a unique opportunity to fuel its economic growth and development. By investing in education, health, and well-being, the continent can harness the talents of its young population and drive economic prosperity for years to come. The Dar es Salaam Declaration sends a resounding message that the time for action is now. African leaders have recognized the critical importance of human capital investments and the potential they hold for transforming the continent's fortunes. As the summit concluded, it marked the beginning of a new chapter in Africa's growth story - one that is centered on its most valuable resource: its people.   Sources: THX News & World Bank.

Posted @withrepost • @the.kraal Today we honor Tom Mboya (1930-1969), one of Africa’s greatest leader. 🇰🇪🌍 A member of the Luo people and a graduate of mission schools, Mboya first worked as a sanitary inspector in Nairobi and almost immediately became involved in the nascent Kenyan trade-union movement. He was a key nationalist figure in the days of the Mau Mau movement, led by the Kikuyu people against European ownership of land. From 1953 to 1963 he was general secretary of the Kenya Federation of Labour (KFL), an especially important post since no strictly political African national organizations were allowed in Kenya until 1960. Unlike most of his colleagues, he opposed the policy of multiracial political representation put forward by the British colonial government in the late 1950s. He helped form the Kenya independence movement in the council and the People’s Convention Party in Nairobi. In the critical pre-independence decade he also spent a year at the University of Oxford and twice visited the United States. In 1959 he helped found the African-American Students Foundation to raise money to send East African (originally only Kenyan) university students to the United States on charter flights, thus making it possible for many more students to study abroad (Barack Obama’s father was one of them). When Kenya attained self-government rule on June 1st, 1963, Tom Mboya became the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, a position he was able to utilize in shaping a future independent Kenya. In December 1964, Kenya became a Republic, with Mboya being appointed the Minister of Economic Planning and Development. He was later instrumental in putting together the famous Sessional Paper No.10: "African Socialism and its Application to Planning in Kenya ", which continued to be the 'guiding philosophy of the Kenyan government decades his death. He was killed in 1969. Rest in Power ✊🏿 .

We only delay our progress when we try to measure our development by another continent's standard or metric for development. We must learn to accept ourselves and work with who we are and not try to live up to another continent's standard. we would only stress ourselves if we keep trying to compare ourselves, Like Nigeria in Lagos, why ban Okada when we can just create a line strictly for okadas, why do we have to ban it? Is it because other continents do not have Okada lines? Is it because we are so used to seeing other countries using buses so we want to be like them? Africa is unique it can't fit into another continent's standard. The problem with development in Africa, most importantly, West Africa is the lack of good governance and leadership. We somehow still have the colonialism mindset, we have the manpower and the colonists helped us in seeing it by how the manpower developed their nations but we are not using ours well. Because of selfish greed. . . . #africanleadershipacademy #ala #africa #anzishaprize2018 #watchanzishalive #gsp2018 #obamafoundation #southafrica #johannesburg #anzishaprize #leadership #picoftheday #obama #instapic #leadersafrica #mandeladay #africanleaders #ala10 #instadaily #sportagency #barackobama #wearetheones #instamood https://www.instagram.com/p/CU60YBWKhMf/?utm_medium=tumblr
