Why Africa takes 20 years to build what China does in 1 year | Andrew Mwenda

Why does China add an enormous amount of electricity capacity to its grid every year while major infrastructure projects in many African countries can take decades? In this powerful conversation, Andrew Mwenda argues that Africa’s development challenge goes deeper than money, resources or political independence. He says Africa needs an intellectual and institutional reset — changing the way we think about governance, accountability, procurement, democracy and development. Mwenda explains why African countries often focus on following procedures rather than achieving results, and how systems imported from completely different contexts can become obstacles to development. #Africa #AndrewMwenda #MindsetReset #Rwanda #AfricaDevelopment #PanAfricanism #MetaAfricanism #China #AfricanLeadership #Governance #Development #uganda
