    How is it two years with only 11k views? 🤔 It's so worrying for some who loves Africa and wants to see it achieve it's full potential. Let us share this message let's us spread the word. Let's change Africa not by meetings but by action.

    This is an inspiring talk, such a fundamental thing that has profound impact. I hope his dream come true some day soon. Also, I am wondering if all the road materials are sourced/created locally, is it really too expansive to build paved road?

    • @MorphingReality

      US estimate is ~$7 million per mile and ~$11 million in urban areas, but existing logistical challenges on the continent such as lack of roads would probably bump that cost up.

    The problem with Africa is that research is not seen as priority. Leaders spend too much on sectors that are not a priority and ignore research.
