RE: African Infrastructure Development: What are we trying to build continentally? (Part 5 in a series)

in #africa7 years ago

Hi Kiligirl it's Ellie Mae, just trying to comprehend all of your posts. It's a lot for someone that has never been to Afrika. The system there is most often regarded as corrupt. My first question is. How much money do you have to pay in order to play? Is there any certaintee that your proposal will be considered once you have applied.

Now that you have attained financing from X how is it secured without state intervention? Am I getting this right?

What parts of Afrika are you proposing to aid with infrastructure? There must be a circular advantage to production so that that poor are incentivized to continue receiving upgrades to their living situations.

From the pictures I have seen via the computer. Any upgrade would be welcome, but what makes the masses want more if the government finds them easier to control in a status quo environment?

Perhaps I am thinking about your posts from a perspective that was not intended. It seems to me that the entire process is indeed a worthy one. That it is time for Afrika to jump on board. Recognize the benefits possibly becoming one of the finest examples of modern technology in the world.

New opportunities present themselves constantly. Methods need only to be utilized, deregulated, experimented with to exact what is best for each location.

Please let me know if this is any where close to what you are proposing.

I had a lovely time with my Sister's. Glad to be back on track. Have missed hearing from you. Have a whole page of notes to ask you about as I have thought a great deal about your posts.
Love from the swamps Ellie Mae🐓🐓

Hi, @mother2chicks, I'm so glad you had a good visit with your sister. You ask such good questions I really want to think about how to answer them and not give you a throwaway answer. You probe some of the most important aspects of infrastructure service delivery. I'll be in Lusaka all this week with limited access to the internet - not because Lusaka has limited access to the internet, but because I'll be busy each day looking for clients! Would you mind terribly if I absorb all your questions as you ask them - and keep asking them - and then give a good try at answering them next week? Love, LD 😊😊
