Nigerian recording artist D’Banj and Dr. Sipho Moyo, Africa Executive Director for the ONE Campaign, discuss the upcoming U.S.-African Leader’s summit.
D’Banj discussed the Do Agric campaign’s 2 million petition signers who are calling out to African leaders for more investments in agriculture to fight poverty and create jobs. Dr. Moyo said our campaign struck a chord because African citizens petitioned their own leaders with their concerns over agriculture and are pushing for these leaders to keep their commitments to investments.
D’Banj said the African Leaders Summit’s theme of “investing the next generation in Africa” will be important this week for leaders to help expose “the wealth in Africa.” Moyo hoped conversations between President Obama and African leaders focus on agriculture and energy as ways to unlock Africa’s economic potential.
