Cents With Sense | Financing Africa’s Future

Africa sits on a mountain of need — roads that collapse, power grids that fail, water systems that leak, and cities bursting at the seams. Yet the money to build, revive, and transform often doesn’t show up when it’s needed most. With foreign investment drying up, donor fatigue setting in, and interest rates rising globally, the only way forward is to unlock local capital and rethink how development is financed. This isn’t just an economic problem; it’s a test of whether Africa governs itself well enough to shape its own destiny.
