US Exceeds $55 Billion Investment in Africa, Focusing on Infrastructure for Sustainable Growth

MarketJar

In recent decades, the US-Africa economic relationship has evolved from aid to trade and is currently focused on investments, signaling a shift in perspective and a growing interest in African opportunities. In the wake of the US-Africa Leaders Summit in December 2022, President Biden initiated an exceptional year of engagement with Africa, achieving significant milestones and delivering on commitments made during the Summit. The current administration has surpassed its commitment to invest $55 billion in Africa over three years, marking a profound dedication to the continent. Large-scale infrastructure projects in Africa have become particularly appealing to U.S. institutional investors, offering the potential for long-term returns and significant social and economic impact. These projects, especially in transportation, energy, water, and telecommunications, require substantial funding to address Africa's infrastructure financing gap. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are deemed essential to bridge the infrastructure financing gap in Africa, with an estimated $130 to $170 billion required annually for development. Addressing this gap would yield significant social and economic benefits, including enhanced access to jobs, education, and banking services. Moreover, the energy sector, with its abundant renewable resources, offers substantial opportunities for US institutional investment to enable Africa’s transition into a green energy powerhouse. Among the companies focused on solutions that enable Africa to upgrade its infrastructure is Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM), a Los-Angeles-based regional air mobility platform transforming regional flying through electrification. Surf Air Mobility, which is the largest commuter airline in the US based on scheduled departures, is developing revolutionary new technology to upgrade the widely popular Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft with fully electric and hybrid-electric engines for passenger air travel. Surf Air Mobility to Supply Electric Powertrains to Kenyan Operators On January 17, Surf Air Mobility signed an agreement with Z.Boskovic Air Charters Ltd, a prominent name in Kenya's private charter, safari, freight, and corporate travel sector. Surf Air will be integrating its cutting-edge electrified powertrain technology into Z.Boskovic's existing and future Cessna Caravan fleet once certified. Z.Boskovic currently operates a fleet of 13 Cessna Caravans, positioning them as Kenya's leading charter operator for this aircraft model, and has plans to expand its fleet of Caravan aircraft this year. This collaboration marks yet another stride in Surf Air Mobility 's ongoing efforts to broaden the reach of its innovative electrified powertrain technology. Surf Air Mobility ’s electric and hybrid powertrains aim to cut emissions by 100% and 50%, respectively. Z.Boskovic, a leading Kenyan safari operator, is dedicated to environmental conservation. By significantly reducing their Caravan fleet's carbon footprint, they aim to better safeguard Kenya's ecosystems and wildlife. This agreement follows other recent deals between Surf Air Mobility and prominent Kenyan Cessna Caravan operators, Safarilink and Yellow Wings, to provide electric powertrains for their aircraft as well. These partnerships support SafariLink and Yellow Wings' ambitious target to transition to all-electric operations by 2027, contributing to the promotion of air travel sustainability in Africa. Kenya stands out as a leader in the regional air mobility market, making these collaborations significant steps towards advancing the adoption of electrified aviation technologies. Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) is actively working on obtaining Supplemental Type Certification for both hybrid and fully-electric versions of the Cessna Grand Caravan. The targeted impact includes potential reductions of up to 50% in direct operating costs and achieving a 100% cut in carbon emissions for the fully-electric powertrain. Surf Air believes that the implications of this technology can be transformative for regional aviation on a global scale. This collaboration positions Z.Boskovic, Safarilink, and Yellow Wings as trailblazers in adopting green technologies crucial for a more environmentally friendly and quieter future in regional transportation, particularly significant for the conservation of Kenyan wildlife. It also aligns with the Kenyan government's recent commitment to shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources by 2030. Safarilink has highlighted their dedication to protecting the environment in their operational areas, and have stated that adopting Surf Air Mobility 's electric powertrain technology has the potential to lower noise and climate impact, enhancing global visitors' experience of the local ecosystem. Yellow Wings has stressed their support for alternative air travel propulsion, and has stated that Kenya, with its 91% carbon-free power generation, is the perfect leader for this initiative. The collaboration between Surf Air Mobility, Safarilink, Yellow Wings, and Z.Boskovic could hold promise for transforming regional aviation in Kenya and East Africa by showcasing the viability and impact of electrified Caravans on the industry.

Speaker, Educator, and Author Dr. Tom Rowley Provides Solutions For Parents To Raise Competent Kids

Prodigy Press Wire

The United States education system has changed significantly since 1975 when the country ended the Vietnam War. Baby boomers and the generations that follow benefitted from an effective education system that encouraged freedom of speech and independence. Students who began learning after these generations, particularly since the 2000s, engage with a different kind of system. Education in modern America is now about the indoctrination of values and principles, with few opportunities for students to learn concepts that are essential for life. Critical thinking and civic duties are two major areas that speaker, author, and former educator Dr. Tom Rowley covers in his two highly acclaimed books. Rowley’s first book, Blame It On 'Nam, covers the gradual shift the education system has undergone in the last decades. It also gives parents clear instructions for how they can protect their children from the adverse effects of this broken model. Dr. Tom’s second book, Empower Your Children, is an expansion of the first. Dr.Tom explains how children should be encouraged to ask meaningful questions, recognize bias, and stand up for themselves. Dr. Tom Rowley is deeply passionate about the power of education and civic engagement. He is a high school dropout who enlisted in the Air Force shortly after. His aptitude for learning led him to pass his GED and later obtain several Master's degrees and a Doctorate. After leaving his position as a university professor in Atlanta, Dr. Tom noticed how students were less likely to be taught certain topics than he was. Confused and frustrated at this problem, as well as at the fact that decisions made at the beginning of the COVID pandemic weren’t evidence-based, Dr. Tom began researching what had happened to education since the 60s. He discovered that political protestors during the 1960s proclaimed that if they were to control political agendas they had to control university education. He believes that they became successful at doing this, which has led to the downfall of the American education system. Unfortunately, federal legislation hasn’t combatted these systemic issues; instead, it has created a huge bureaucracy. There are more compliance workers on campus than professors. Modern teachers are overworked and overburdened too and that stifles initiative and creativity. Dr. Tom’s findings were what inspired him to write his books. When addressing these longstanding problems in US education, Dr. Tom references Mark Rashid who said, “Trying to solve a problem without understanding the cause is like trying to keep water in a bucket with a hole in the bottom.” After leaving US academia in 1994 and moving to Costa Rica and then Panamá his students refer to him as Dr. Tom, he continued his desire to instill critical thinking and independence in his students. Dr. Tom taught college freshmen business communications and also spent time teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) as well as accounting concepts. Now settled in Panama, Dr. Tom focuses on his speaking events and equestrian therapy with special needs children. Since beginning his career as an author, Dr. Tom has spoken at several prestigious conferences. He was the lead speaker of a live virtual leadership summit. Dr. Tom focused on the leadership lessons humans can gain from horses. He tells a captivating story about building trust between humans and horses that can carry over to human relationships and management. The non-verbal behaviors of horses allow them to be very sensitive to the people and things in their environment. If leaders focus on this non-verbal communication, especially trust, Dr. Tom believes organizations will be able to become more effective. “I’ve always been passionate about connecting with youth through education,” says Dr. Tom. “When I was in their shoes, I made some immature decisions like dropping out of high school, but with the help of several mentors, I learned the power of education. My work at universities, as an entrepreneur and pilot, and in private settings throughout Latin America has enabled me to leave a positive impact on young adults who need what I like to call ‘common sense’. My books are avenues for me to express the things I know and have learned from working in education. I wrote them to speak directly with parents, teachers, and mentors who are confused and troubled by their children’s inability to solve problems or understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. While the United States education system has the perception that it is better than others, I feel that much could be done to give kids a better shot at a productive life.” Dr. Tom's two books are available for purchase on Amazon and in other book retailers online and in-person.

Lotis Blue Consulting Releases Future of Retail Workforce Study: New Research Predicts Associate Stay/Leave Decisions with 87 Percent Accuracy

Lotis Blue Consulting

Lotis Blue Consulting, a corporate advisory and business transformation firm, releases the third edition of its comprehensive research study, Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, analyzing the current state of the retail workforce. The study investigates ways the current macroeconomic environment has influenced retention trends for the retail workforce; factors that are becoming more important to employee retention and loyalty; how motivations for leaving or staying in a job are changing over time; and, new to this edition, how factors driving quit and stay decisions differ by workforce characteristics and retail segment. Research for the Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study was conducted during the lead-up to the 2023 holiday season and is based on comprehensive, objective feedback from 1,000 retail associates. The report uses the lens of the Employee Value Proposition (EVP)—including 7 dimensions and 30 underlying factors—to evaluate retail employees’ decisions to stay, consider leaving or leave an employer. “Labor dynamics in retail have changed dramatically in the last 12 months with a tightening of the job market and stabilizing sales, coinciding with major attitude shifts toward work and employers,” noted Lotis Blue Consulting partner and study author Aaron Sorensen, adding, “Even with changing labor conditions and issues, the data is comprehensive enough to predict an employee’s decision to stay or leave an employer with 87 percent accuracy. And in order to hold onto valued employees, we’ve observed that retailers must simultaneously provide an environment where there are more factors that make workers want to stay, and fewer that make them want to quit.” The study found that recent changes in labor market dynamics resulted in a decrease in turnover but a 7% increase in retail associates who are considering leaving their jobs, suggesting an underlying dissatisfaction with their current work situation. “Changes to the reasons that associates are staying or leaving an employer suggest that factors such as schedule flexibility serve a triggering role to job dissatisfaction,” noted study co-author and Lotis Blue Consulting partner Erica Grant. “While some decision drivers such as enjoyable work consistently influence staying decisions across workforce segments, other factors vary significantly in their importance by retail segment. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for retailers." The study findings in this most recent edition include: Talent strategies for the retail workforce have a short shelf-life, due to changes in labor and market conditions Stay and leave decisions have changed significantly in the last 12 months, differing across retailer types and workforce characteristics Job factors create magnetism that uniquely attracts or repels retail associates More associates are staying, but there are also more with one foot out the door Some factors matter more than others: 60% of all stay-or-leave decisions currently relate to Job & Work Environment, Company, and Leadership Culture Pay and Health & Safety have made significant jumps as turnover/retention drivers this year, and Scheduling triggers a cascade of turnover intentions For more information or to see the newest edition of the Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, please visit: https://www.lotisblueconsulting.com/insights/2024-the-future-of-retail-workforce-study/ Study Methodology The ongoing Lotis Blue Future of Retail Workforce Study, now in its third iteration, has cumulatively surveyed over 3,000 employees across 700 retailers in the apparel, big box, apparel & luxury, grocery & convenience, home goods & electronics, specialty, fast casual and other sectors, deriving comprehensive, objective feedback. Research for the first study was conducted in summer 2022, for the second, in the lead-up to the of 2022 Holiday season, and for this current edition, in the lead-up to the 2023 Holiday season. At the intersection of growth and transformation, you’ll find Lotis Blue Consulting.
