The Rising Rwanda and Lessons on Coops
Rwanda gets things done. It is indeed an amazing country. In Carnegie Mellon University, I worked to set up the CMU Africa, unquestionably the finest place to master AI, computer science and electronics engineering in Africa. CMU is ranked #1 in AI/ML in the world. CMU is ranked #1 in computer science. CMU is ranked #1 in cybersecurity. It is ranked #1 in game development.
It is ranked #1 software engineering. Ranked #1 in MIS. In autonomous systems engineering, it has no rival. Rwanda is building to share that engineering and technical heritage. (If you do apply to CMU, let me know).
In this piece, Prof Nnamdi Madichie examines Rwanda Coffee Cooperatives and offers a case study. In Rwanda, many things begin at RDB which coordinates many development activities. Enjoy this piece and see how we can use that model to deepen our cocoa, palm oil, rubber, etc cooperatives in Nigeria.
