Rwanda has its shortcomings, but it has clearly undergone structural transformation. The system actually works for everyone, their leaders don’t flaunt stolen wealth, and the ease of doing business is impressive. The only area where we still outperform them is in market size and the unmatched industrious spirit of Kenyans, which keeps the economy vibrant despite weak institutions.

3/4 Simulation should be flexible, context-driven, and accessible. Tele-simulation and low-cost models make it scalable. Every country needs its own simulation society to drive this change. #MedEdAfrica2025

#Ethiopia: Ethiopian Airlines boss calls for African aviation deregulation to lower costs for travellers #Africa’s most successful carrier says continent’s airlines are being held back by inability to operate freely in the region The head of Africa’s largest carrier @flyethiopian has called for the continent to implement an agreement allowing airlines to operate freely to increase competition and reduce the costs for travellers amid rising demand for flying. It is “a big obstacle” for Ethiopian Airlines and affects “nearly all African airlines” who are not able to expand their services, Ethiopian Airlines Group chief executive Mesfin Tasew told the Financial Times.  An African initiative to liberalise the aviation space to which 37 countries have signed up was launched in 2018. However, the Single African Air Transport Market has not yet been fully implemented, in part due to countries protecting their national carriers. Unlike in other regions that have deregulated aviation, airlines operating in Africa have to sign bilateral agreements to fly between two countries on the continent.  There is growing demand on the African continent partly thanks to economic growth and the growing middle classes. However, flights on average are only filled about 70 per cent, according to airline data — the lowest compared to any other region, because of the cost of flying. Home to about 18 per cent of the world’s population, Africa only accounts for roughly 2 per cent of global air traffic.  Liberalising African aviation would “pave the way for rapid development of air transport service within Africa”, said Mesfin. ft.com/content/b986faf2-7398…
