Вставка

- Tapping into his extensive experience in public service as a former Liberian Minister for Public Works, W. Gyude Moore boldly presents one big idea - to revolutionize Africa’s roads. He paints an image worth aspiring towards- a trans-African highway which spans the length and breadth of the continent, weaving through a future with stronger connectivity and better infrastructure. The result is an exciting talk with professional examples of garnered gains and lessons learned leading to a vision of gathering the best resources to make this a reality.
Intro music - Blue Boss by Sampa the great W. Gyude Moore is a visiting fellow at the Center for Global Development. He previously served as Liberia’s Minister of Public Works and country lead on the construction and maintenance infrastructure from December 2014 to January 2018. At CGD, Moore will be exploring governance, looking at the infrastructure sector in particular. He will also focus on channels of attracting private finance into African infrastructure. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
It is an inspiring and enlightening presentation. He raises salient issues of economic development in Africa, particularly roads. Thanks Gyude Moore!
Great speaker..listen to his analysis of the Chinese Africa laison....
wonderful speech, Africa has been neglect and should deserve better
Mr Moore, you are representing. Respect.
Brilliant!!! Simple ideas are what we need. Looking forward to the results of the competition.
Love him.
Kenya is paving the way. Everyone should follow the same
Magnificent!
Thank you Guyde... Agreed. There was Erthzyme from Canada too that we wished to use as a binder for stabilized soil blocks in Kenya around 2007
There is a saying in China: If you want to get rich, build the roads first.
Good that there is someone that is thinking for Africa.
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?
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.
Proposing an actual solution rather than raising fists and shouting Free Africa! How refreshing.
Let's make our continent work .. we have enough human capital and resources
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.
Guess what country is actually helping Africa building lots of roads and infrastructure. China
China is helping China...lol.. let's be clear
@@malissa29soulmoxiefoods Of course, but there's something called mutually beneficial, a term completely foreign and alien to Western geopolitics.
@@dunzhen lets see how this mutuality works out when these countries in Africa began to default on these loans. You think these Chinese are mistreating African citizens in their own countries now, lol ..you aint seen nothing yet...🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@malissa29soulmoxiefoods Ok, let's see. But we can't listen to white media, they will never be impartial.
@@malissa29soulmoxiefoods China has restructured loans 87 times versus only doing a debt-equity swap one time and that was with Sri Lanka
This was the public work minister in Liberia, a job exclusively for road specifically and other infrastructural projects, yet, Liberia has the worst rural road network in Africa! This just to say Africa development is all talk!
Please explain what you mean by, "Africa development is all talk!"?
Liberia problem is complex , all our past leaders couldn't gave us common road but we want it over the night .. 😂😂
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.
Africa needs to work closely with BRICS countries. They will see you at the same level as equal partners
That product already exists
sauce pls

Corruption is the number one problem in Africa then China Europe and America.
For once the Gates Foundation is force for 👍
First force Africans to be engineers! Who d u expect to build/erect roads at lower cost?
Why not request China to help ?
He addressed it. Unsustainable debt levels.
Africa needed war communism to
build up infra-structure
Otherwise, it have to wait for a very long time.....
