We invited Donald Kaberuka, now a senior advisor to the Boston Consulting Group, to curate the week’s news.
Donald brings a unique perspective to the Africa.com Top10 Business. He served for ten years as the President of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) a perch from which he negotiated with the collective of interests gathered at WEF this week: leaders in the private sector, country presidents, ministers of finance, and community organizations.
During his tenure at the AfDB, he led a strategy to promote regional integration through infrastructure investments in roads, railways, power plants and communications.
With this experience, Donald has surveyed the many stories competing for your attention this week, and carefully selected the top ten business articles that he thinks Africa.com’s readers should focus on right now.
