But for Dr. Blessing Karumbidza, an African economic historian, development scholar, and research strategist, it is imperative to measure the Russia-Africa partnership by its outcomes, not its announcements.
In this episode of the Redrawn Africa podcast, Dr. Blessing Karumbidza examines what it would take for Africa to move from signing documents to building real capacity and why the absence of a single African voice remains the continent's greatest structural weakness.
