16th September 2019
I love using short videos like this in my economics classroom - they seem to capture the essence of how new technology and appropriate capital investment can make a real difference to the lives of millions of people and act as a catalyst for further positive externalities downstream. For many students, Ethiopia is one of their go-to countries when deepening their knowledge and understanding of growth and development economics.
