Unpacking #timbuktoo strategy in Day 2.

We started with thought provoking reflections on the power of curiosity & choice.

“If you are not curious of the state of the world today, you won’t be able to change it. Everything is about choice.”

#Africa ’s transformation lies in the power of #partnerships .

I am optimistic about #timbuktoo as a major accelerator in leveraging Africa’s youthful talents, tech-enabled dev & #OneAfricaMarket to transform the continent.

#AI4DevAnnualMeeting

#timbuktoo will close the gap b/n #Africa 's immense talents & opportunities.

A great pleasure to welcome stakeholders to #CapeTown to strategize & leap forward timbuktoo’s execution. This is an opportunity to leverage our collective knowledge & networks for #Africa 's dev't.

🌍Addressing #climatechange requires all hands on deck & when it comes to #climateaction , empowering youth voices is essential for lasting impact.
