“Our continent needs investment in industrial capacity, regional infrastructure and value addition, supported by the African Continental Free Trade Area. African economies must retain more value from their resources and create opportunities for young people.(…)
In line with the African Common Position on Food Systems, we call for sustained investment in smallholder farmers, women and young entrepreneurs, alongside irrigation, research, storage, processing and regional trade. (…) Africa brings clear priorities, national efforts and a determination to advance its transformation. The African Group will work constructively towards outcomes that make financing serve development and ensure that no one is left behind.”

To all the incredible women in our world, I hope you have a happy Women's Day. The fight for women's rights in our world has persisted since 1911 when Clara Zetkin proposed the idea of an International Women's Day (IWD) to advance women's economic empowerment.

Cry, Namibia! The plot thickens! NAMPOL is investigating itself, and The Namibian newspaper has just leaked information about being sued for leaking documents related to the NAMCOR deal. Unbelievable! What's Next?
