Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are key to the growth of African economies, but they are often plagued by challenges among them lack of adequate funding to startup or grow their businesses. Though governments like Rwandas are doing a lot to create a supportive and enabling environment, capital challenges still linger, especially for the micro SMEs operating in the informal sector, which find it hard to obtain loans from banks due to failure to meet the necessary requirements, for example collateral. Marlon Weir, a Jamaican-American diaspora who has relocated to Rwanda is developing a 1st of its kind, unique IT solution which he reckons can be a platform for local SMEs to qualify and host micro-investment opportunities, which will aid them in accessing funding from their counterparts in outside countries (the rest of Africa and the global African diaspora).

While the rest of Israels coronavirus testing network is straining to cope with massive demand, the situation in the countrys Arab community is entirely different: The resumption of classes following the school winter break has led to a small uptick in requests for PCR testing and for more rapid antigen testing administered by medical personnel, but many community COVID coordinators report very limited demand on the whole for testing in the countrys Arab locales. As of Monday, data from the Arab Emergency Committee, a panel of public health experts and public figures that was established at the beginning of the pandemic, pegged 22 Arab communities as red the highest rate of infection and another 21 just one notch lower at orange.

In the lines for COVID tests, on the preschool parents WhatsApp groups and the incidental chatter on Zoom, the impression is that there is a broad Israeli consensus: The guidelines are extremely confusing. Muttering this sentence these days is akin to muttering something generic about the weather, a surefire way to break an awkward silence and evoke nods of agreement in solidarity from everyone around you.
