Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Lectures at Harvard on the Face of Poverty by NOIConnect(op):
Giving the annual McNamara lecture at Harvard Kennedy School: The attached Brookings Institution Poverty Maps show the changing face of poverty from 1973-2019 to have become more African.

In my lecture, ‘The Changing Face of Poverty: Can Africa Surprise the World,’ I argue that Africa can surprise to change the face and colour of poverty by 2050 building on and deepening past and present successes in macroeconomic management, emerging microeconomic reforms in the business environment, sectoral “employment creating transformation” in the so-called smoke stackless industries, and the deployment of technology.

This will have to be complemented by faster progress in education and skills building for a fast-growing young population, smarter management of urbanization and complementary development of human and physical infrastructure.

Just imagine if in her youth, she met one Yahoo boy that used her pants to buy Benz like thousands of girls today.

It would have been a lose to the world. She would probably be hustling as a Secretary in a 9-6 job in Nigeria, not realising what she has lost.
