From this week's The Economist: Follow the Fixers
Who to partner with in Africa, if you are trying your hand at business development?
This interview by the Economist with African development expert Ashish Thakkar says much the same thing.
"What do you think is the single most important thing..." to help Africa?
Answer: People who make improvements. Follow people who fix things.

"AS GLOBAL investors salivate over Africa's economic growth, Ashish Thakkar, founder of the Mara Group, explains why success still hinges on local knowledge"I repost this because it's very close to my takeaway, when I left Africa, thinking "I shall return".
