It's a pleasure to speak this afternoon at the Swiss Development Cooperation's annual IC Forum, on a panel about "Africa, a Future Market". Through I think the title is not really correct. It's rather "Africa, a Present Growth Market". Since 1990, GDP of Sub-Saharan Africa has grown 4-fold!

I think the UK aid cuts are sad and shortsighted. But admit I'm also confused by spending more on defense. Surely the last few decades of military misadventure by large powers has demonstrated the weak link between (even) massively outspending an opponent and winning a war against them.

Economist @betseystevenson.bsky.social, on DOGE: "I would basically call it a performance art piece... probably making the government more inefficient, but there's a lot of spectacle about it," designed "to dazzle us and have us look away from trillions of dollar in tax cuts to the uber-wealthy."

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week. I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.
