    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute Nigeria’s renewal: Delivering renewal: Nigeria’s inclusive largest growth economy in Africa’s July 2014 Nigeria’s renewal: Delivering inclusive growth in Africa’s largest economy The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; natural resources; labour markets; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; and urbanisation. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.

  • One Million Farmers Served 2019 ANNUAL REPORT
    One Million Farmers Served 2019 ANNUAL REPORT A One Acre Fund farmer group prepares land for planting, Rwanda OPENING LETTER Greetings from One Acre Fund. I had originally written this letter to celebrate an important milestone: directly serving one million farmers each year. However, in the era of Covid-19, serving one million farmers takes on new urgency. Agriculture is more essential than ever. We simply cannot afford to compound a health crisis with a food crisis. Most of the nations we serve in East Africa rely on food produced by smallholder farmers. One Acre Fund farmers alone grow enough food to feed 15 million people. Our mission has never been clearer: we must help farmers grow enough food to feed their families and feed their communities. For rural farm families, Covid-19 is a dual crisis: a threat to both their health and livelihoods. Many rural areas lack basic hand-washing supplies that can slow the virus’ spread. To earn a living, farmers depend on free movement to access supplies and markets for their goods. The impact of the disease on a vulnerable population could be immense. But serving one million farmers is also a reason for hope. We’ve rapidly adapted our operations to keep farmers safe and well-supported throughout this crisis. We accelerated input distribution to get crucial supplies in farmers’ hands before lockdowns. We’re rapidly digitizing our trainings and repayments. We’re distributing 2.5 million kilograms of soap. Our 6,500 field staff are actively promoting health best practices in rural areas. Through this report, we want to take a moment to reflect on the success of 2019 and celebrate the accom- plishment of serving one million families that you’ve helped us to achieve.

  • The Reimagined Paradise: African Immigrants in the United States, Nollywood Film, and the Digital Remediation of 'Home'
    THE REIMAGINED PARADISE: AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES, NOLLYWOOD FILM, AND THE DIGITAL REMEDIATION OF 'HOME' Tori O. Arthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Patricia Sharp Graduate Faculty Representative Vibha Bhalla Lara Lengel © 2016 Tori O. Arthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This dissertation analyzes how African immigrants from nations south of the Sahara become affective citizens of a universal Africa through the consumption of Nigerian cinema, known as Nollywood, in digital spaces. Employing a phenomenological approach to examine lived experience, this study explores: 1) how American media aids African pre-migrants in constructing the United States as a paradise rooted in the American Dream; 2) immigrants’ responses when the ‘imagined paradise’ does not match their American realities; 3) the ways Nigerian films articulate a distinctly African cultural experience that enables immigrants from various nations to identify with the stories reflected on screen; and, 4) how viewing Nollywood films in social media platforms creates a digital sub-diaspora that enables a reconnection with African culture when life in the United States causes intellectual and emotional dissonance. Using voices of members from the African immigrant communities currently living in the United States and analysis of their online media consumption, this study ultimately argues that the Nigerian film industry, a transnational cinema with consumers across the African diaspora, continuously creates a fantastical affective world that offers immigrants tools to connect with their African cultural values.

Bringing together a diverse range of high-level African stakeholders belonging to various public and private constituencies, as well as selected non-African partners, the Forum is an open and frank discussion. It aims to go beyond stating issues and renewing commitments by defining pragmatic strategies, operational action points and shared responsibilities. Since this year sees the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of African unity, the focus of the 2013 Ibrahim Forum is on the major opportunities and challenges the continent will have to tackle over the next 50 years. To facilitate the debate, the panels will be organised around the four Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) categories – Safety & Rule of Law, Participation & Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development – all of which are areas requiring exceptional leadership and governance. Each of the panels will aim to address four key questions: • What are the key priorities? • Who are the key actors responsible for driving and implementing the agenda? • What resources are available/necessary to ensure success and progress? • What indicators/mechanisms can be used to monitor implementation and measure results? Addis Ababa, 10.11.2013 IBRAHIM FORUM PANELS Panel 1 Panel 2 ‘Human Development’ ‘Sustainable Economic Opportunity’ The population of a country is a leader’s Recent decades have registered major shifts in fundamental unit of responsibility.

  • The Blossoming of Nollywood the Nigerian Movie Industry
    THE BLOSSOMING OF NOLLYWOOD THE NIGERIAN MOVIE INDUSTRY © nigeriansinsouthafrica.com AUTHORS MARCH 2018 |-> CHLOE GILLET |-> DIMITRI ROGER |-> HELENA TSETOU |-> MOHAMED BA What do you know about Nigerian cinema? Did you know it is now the second largest film industry in the world in terms of film production with 800 to 1000 movies per year? Now, you do and you will learn even more. Its other name, Nollywood, is derived from the word Hollywood which refers to the home of the U.S film industry. This nickname can remind you of Bollywood, the Hindi Cinema (a portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood). However, the Nigerian Cinema is nothing like either of them and has a lot to offer in multiple ways. This reportage is meant to be a presentation and a way to discover and understand this Cinema. For the sake of clarity, it focuses first on the history of the film production in the country, second on its themes, then its famous people, its recognition, the criticisms it faces. The goal of this reportage is to make a clear and short presentation of this cinema, at this end of the reportage, you will find a long list of references about it. © wikipedia - 1 - HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN CINEMA ➢ Anthropological aspects of the development of the Nigerian cinema ©ThePointNG Located in Western Africa, Nigeria is the most populated African country with more than 150 million people from around 250 tribes. At the beginning of the colonial era (in the early 1900s), Nigeria was divided into the Northern and Southern Protectorates. However, the former was richer than the latter due to a faster economical development.
