“African Solutions for African Problems” with George Ayittey
Webcast provided by Calvin College, Fremont Area Community Foundation, and the Dogwood Center.
Ayittey is a Ghanaian economist at American University, a recognized authority on Africa and Economic Development, and the author of the influential book Africa Unchained. He has coined the term “the Hippo and Cheetah generations” referring to the old and new African elites.
He focuses on bottom-up economics through “Cheetah Enterprises” – projects starting at the grassroots level that enable Africans to improve their quality of life. Ayittey speaks passionately about empowering Africans to take back Africa.
