Foreign aid improves lives—but only where, how, and for whom it is delivered. New evidence from 35 African countries shows that impact depends on sector, design, and local context, not donor identity.

Roads, power plants, and transport corridors may be essential for growth, but their benefits are not automatically inclusive. Without complementary policies such as local connections, affordable access, safeguards, local employment, market integration, and community planning, large infrastructure may generate macroeconomic value without quickly improving household welfare nearby.

AI education in Africa must go beyond coding, rooted in ethics, culture, and inclusion to truly empower learners.

Fertility is declining across developing countries, but the drivers vary widely by region, challenging one-size-fits-all policy assumptions about women’s work and family choices.

Effective responses require context-specific approaches that reflect local labor market conditions, social norms, and institutional strengths. Expanding women’s access to work remains important, but it must be accompanied by supportive systems such as childcare, reproductive healthcare, education, and social protection to ensure that women are not forced into trade-offs between economic participation and family life.

Remittances are more than money transfers - they are a lifeline for families and a potential engine for inclusive rural development. In 2025, Morocco received around MAD 122 billion in remittances, equal to roughly 8% of GDP. These flows help households meet daily needs, pay for education and healthcare, and build resilience against economic shocks. But the real development opportunity lies in what comes next: lowering transfer costs, expanding digital access, linking remittances to savings and credit tools, and ensuring rural communities, women and underserved households are included in formal financial systems.

With the right mix of digital innovation, financial literacy, consumer protection and public investment, remittances can move from household support to long-term rural opportunity. #Morocco #Remittances #FinancialInclusion #SDGs #SDG10

Global immunization is at a fragile turning point. Falling routine coverage, rising measles outbreaks, widening vaccine inequities and growing misinformation are threatening progress toward the Immunization Agenda 2030. The challenge is no longer just introducing new vaccines. It is sustaining the trust, financing and delivery systems needed to reach every child and community still missing essential protection. #Immunization #Vaccines #GlobalHealth #VaccineEquity

The road to 2030 will depend on stronger primary healthcare systems, domestic investment, resilient supply chains, community engagement and equitable access for zero-dose and under-immunized children. Stronger systems. Greater equity. Restored trust. Lasting protection for every generation.
