Young people in the room where budgets are made
Participation that comes with resources, not only consultation: youth panels with their own budget line, built into national planning and Demographic Resilience Reviews.

Speaking
I bring a finance view to youth debates and a youth view to finance debates: in policy dialogues, youth consultations, panels and classrooms, in English or French.
Abidjan · 5 Nov 2026Topics
Finance and trade as development tools
What moving goods from Asia to Africa teaches about credit, customs and jobs, when the continent still imports so much of what it uses.
Mobile money and small business
What my MBA research in Bujumbura found: mobile money integration is strongly associated with retail SME profitability, and the business environment decides how far it goes. What that means for young entrepreneurs locked out of credit.
Women in finance and leadership
Who holds the money shapes who benefits. Why the credit gap for women and young entrepreneurs is a planning problem, not a talent problem.
From first internship to first leadership role
Practical career advice for young Africans.
Formats. Panels, keynotes, youth consultations, workshops and university talks. In English or French.
