In this episode, Zeinab Badawi travels to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia to find out about the powerful kingdoms of southern Africa and their rulers from 10th to 19th century, like the Mutapa kingdom that stretched across portions of eight modern-day southern African countries.

We hear about one military ruler who repeatedly saw off Portuguese invaders, and we admire the incredible ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the largest stone settlement in Africa south of the Sahara.

Foreign visitors could not believe that this towering civilisation dating from the 1100s was built by Africans. The reality is that Great Zimbabwe is the most striking example of the kingdoms that flourished in southern Africa.

Please join us for the launch of the Broadband for All report (“A Digital Infrastructure Moonshot for Africa”). The report, one of the first to quantify the cost of bridging the broadband gap in North and Sub-Saharan Africa, calls for urgent action to close the internet access gap while providing a roadmap and action plan for reaching universal broadband connectivity in Africa by 2030. To achieve universal access, Africa will need to bring about 1.1 billion more people online. This will require exceptional and coordinated efforts from governments, the private sector, development partners and civil society but the investment is worth it.

Global Problems of Population Growth (MCDB 150)

In addition to cultural controls acting to maximize fertility, there are important, and often competing, interests of individual families to limit fertility. Unwanted births are dealt with by infanticide in many cultures. Additionally, fertility is regularly controlled by limiting marriage within a culture. Another very important factor in population growth, especially in the tropics, is food availability. Heavy rains in the tropics wash nutrients away, leaving deficient soils. Much of Africa is either too dry or too wet. Africa was, until recently, not densely populated. Since land was available and because more children meant more security and power, a culture evolved that emphasized high fertility, justified by the need for descendants to pacify ancestors. Sub-Saharan (tropical) Africa has the highest birth rates in the world. As an example, Niger, just south of the Sahara desert has a fertility rate of almost eight children per woman while, in the Mediterranean zone, Morocco, just north of the Sahara, but also a Sunni Muslim country, has a rate of only 3.3 children per woman.

Stephen Esquith and Marcy Hessling O’Neil discuss “Parole aux Jeunes!/Youth Speak!”, a community engagement project happening in Benin Republic, Mali, and Michigan.

In a global context marked by slowing economic growth, high inflation, and rising interest rates, what is the outlook for the Africa region? How will African countries rebuild robust economic growth, create jobs, and reclaim the development gains lost during the COVID-19 pandemic? What opportunities can African leaders find in this particularly turbulent time? The State of the Africa Region event will take stock of global headwinds affecting the region and provide a timely overview of macro-economic trends, given the slowing GDP, high debt, and historically high food and energy prices. The discussion will specifically focus on measures that can deliver big wins for food security on the continent, such as better targeted public spending, investments in food transformation and resilient food systems, and stronger intra-regional trade.

In this video, I interview Mamadou Ndiaye who talks about his journey from Senegal to France and then to Malaysia as he embarks on a journey from student to professional in a major French company, then on towards his entrepreneurial journeys that led him to found his current company, Wasabih.
