In their latest piece for African Business, @David_McNair and @ndidiNwuneli explore what the Hormuz shock reveals about a deeper challenge facing African economies: vulnerability to disruptions beyond their borders. When a crisis thousands of miles away can drive up fuel, food, fertilizer, and borrowing costs across the continent, resilience becomes more than a crisis-response challenge. It becomes a question of investment. The long-term answer lies in strengthening the foundations of growth: energy, manufacturing, regional production, and trade systems that can better withstand global shocks.

When an outbreak makes the headlines, misinformation often follows. That’s why we sat down with ONE’s Director of Health Financing for Africa, Dr. William Menson, to break down what’s happening in the DRC and Uganda, what makes this Ebola outbreak different, and the actions that need to follow. Outbreaks like this remind us of what’s at stake. Strong health systems, early detection, and sustained global health investments help save lives and make all of us safer. Watch through for the facts, and share this post with your network to help spread awareness. 🌍 #Ebola #Uganda #DRC #GlobalHealth

Africa is shaping how the world creates, connects, and grows. From fintech to fashion to global health, African innovation and creativity are already driving industries and conversations worldwide. The gap isn’t impact. It’s recognition. Too often, Africa is framed as potential instead of present-day influence. But the evidence is already everywhere. See more below for the proof that Africa makes the world. ⬇️ #AfricaDay #AfricaMakesTheWorld 🌍

Africa is no longer asking to be seen. It’s shaping what the world watches, builds, creates, and invests in. 🌍 That’s why “Africa makes the world” is more than a phrase — it’s already happening in real time. Ahead of Africa Day on May 25, Strive Masiyiwa’s words point to a bigger shift: the future is being built across the continent, and the world moves further when it moves with Africa. #AfricaDay #AfricaMakesTheWorld

Africa’s creativity powers global culture but too often, the ownership and economic value don’t stay on the continent. As African music, fashion, film, and storytelling shape industries worldwide, the conversation is shifting from visibility to value: Who profits, and what would it take for more of that value to return home? As we look forward to Africa Day on May 25, our Diaspora Creative Council member Danielle Alakija explores why the future of Africa’s creative economy must be built on ownership, authorship, and long-term investment — not just global recognition — because Africa makes the world.

Health workers across DRC and Uganda are already responding to the Ebola outbreak. But outbreaks are harder to contain when health systems are only funded during emergencies. Preparedness means investing in surveillance, frontline health workers, and African-led public health institutions before crises escalate. Here’s what’s happening — and what real readiness requires ⬇️

For too long, conversations about Africa have focused on limits. But across the continent, African-led ideas and solutions are telling a different narrative and shaping the future every day. The real question isn’t whether Africa has something to offer the world. It’s whether global systems will partner with the people already driving progress. 🌍 Join us in changing the narrative. #AfricaDay2026 #AfricaMakesTheWorld

Africa is not waiting for solutions. It is building them. By 2030, Africa will have the world’s largest workforce. 11 of the world’s 20 fastest-growing economies are African. Consumer spending is projected to hit $2.5T. This isn’t potential. It’s global economic power. Learn more. ⬇️ #AfricaDay2026
