Numbers are positive for Africa investmentEconomists globally have been talking up Africa from an investment perspective, despite the drought, decline in oil revenues and despite global economic recession elsewhere. This week a report from the United Nations said there is an evident "bounce back" in investment. The investment story continues, especially in the hotel sector, where there seems to be a race on between the global hotel groups to open new hotels on the continent, including in Africa's tallest building - the Hilton in Nairobi, Kenya; and Marriott is also opening three new properties in Cape Town. Innovation in Africa continues apace with awards for the most innovative apps, sites and ideas from Internet.org. Some incredible ideas there, from connecting farmers to assisting pregnant women and new moms. Have a great week! Louise Marsland
