You think you donate to Africa but we the citizens know for sure that our leaders use that money for themselves especially in Ghana

The Queen represents all four nations that make up GB

For that reason I cannot, in good conscience, support this message

Because the configuration of Great Britain is the most significant point of this message.

Great things are happening in Rwanada. I hope you don’t mind me pointing out that access to electricity enables the use of these water purification technologies. At the same time, having a viable electricity users (like this one) as anchor loads helps the utility’s business model
-
I once saw a presentation from a colleague,
@EmilyImli, where she reported UV treatment in water production facilities in many African countries are underused. I am sure she can provide nore details. (To be continued) -
What I am trying to say is that to support the viability and growth of Yvette Ishimwe water model, we have to coordinate planning of water and electricity infrastructure to exploit synergies. And we need to develop plans that ensure the equipment continues working long-term
-
This may not sound like rocket science, but as I have learned more about infrastructure development projects in sub-Saharan Africa, I have been appalled by poor system-level planning that leads to projects failing after a short time.
-
And to add insult to injury, we haven’t been doing rigorous analysis of lessons learned. What worked and Why? What didn’t work and Why? The activities on the ground happen fast and impact asssessment can be a slow process. But without it, we may be throwing good money after bad
-
And to clarify, my comments are specific to projects that provide infrastructure services like water, sanitation, electricity, fuels. I get the impression that people working in the areas of health and education (for example) are doing a better job at rigorous impact analysis
