QUOTE OF THE DAY
"One of the key components that we see [in Africa], on a micro level is a resource scarcity and conformity. When I say we’ve got no resources, typically there’s a lack of training and a lack of expertise in different technology sets and the broader sort of set understanding. If you look at macro factors, then you bring in socio-economic problems, you bring in political instability, and you bring in exchange rate issues and lack of foreign currency."
