Perfect evening for a family walk in #Dubai . Savoring every moment life gives me with these two. #DadLife #LuckyHubs

May this day be a reminder of the goodness that exists in our world, when all too often we hear only of the negative. Let us rekindle hope, have faith, & continue to work towards peace & prosperity for those who need it most.

A big day for #SouthSudan w the launch of Inkomoko South Sudan. I’ve seen the #impact this team has had in other countries & how they change lives. Can’t wait to see what they are able to bring to this country to help businesses and people in the years ahead.

Kigali International Financial Centre is well-structured & a model for investment into #Africa via a stable base in #Rwanda . Working w Abu Dhabi Global Market will open even more opps for investment & value add.

#Zambia has had no shortage of challenges these past few years, while huge steps have been taken on major issues like debt restructuring, HH has had no shortage of matters to manage, including the current drought that has an impact today & also the follow on effects for many…

Well said, World Bank Africa 'An unplugged continent is our last great obstacle to realizing our promise of a world with electricity for all.'
