I’m honoured to #PassTheMic to econ and development expert Dr. @SongweVera, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations @ECA_OFFICIAL. She’s here to talk about #COVID19 in Africa and global economic recovery. Demand action at go.one.org/2XalGgx @ONECampaign #oneworld

“A global response to #COVID19 is the key to a faster recovery and unlocks the potential for more equitable growth. Tens of millions of people around the world have already lost their jobs, we need to keep that number from growing.” @SongweVera @ONECampaign #passthemic #oneworld

“Africa’s private sector has been quite resilient. I’m most optimistic about the innovation we are seeing like the lab in Senegal making testing accessible by producing one-dollar test kits that give you results in 65 min.” @SongweVera @ONECampaign #passthemic #oneworld
