A retrospective of 2023 with some of our special guests! A year more than ever marked by Africa's capacity to adapt and make its voice heard in a particularly troubled international environment. Let’s introduce some of our guests this year: Menno Holtermann, an industry leader and also a great advocate for water resources, African Banker of the Year Esther Kariuki, Cameroonian writer Djaili Amadou Amal, economist Modibo Mao Makalou from Mali and the Nigerian musician Mabinuori Kayode Idowu. / Reducing unemployment and improving Nigeria's electricity supply is possible thanks to the White Consult initiative, which trains people to install solar panels. / Hard work and determined women: heading to the Parakou granite crushing site in Benin, which attracts more than 600 people every day.
