The makers of our world think too much in terms of "commercial competition",

whereas one should rather think in term of "economic partnership".

European leaders only think of selling mega-projects quickly sold and quickly paid to African leaders.
African leaders think only of their belly, and their lower abdomen. They sell expensive and ugly electricity, but do not maintain power grids.

Result: Virtually all African countries have power grids that are worthless. Economically, it's catastrophic.

Example: The INGA dam in the DRC. This dam was to feed all Central Africa. Only one of the 4 turbines works somehow, and a few kilometers away, there are power cuts 20 times a day! - Same story in Guinea and other African countries.

The average African, their small and medium-sized companies, would like to use the energy of the sun or winds to be autonomous in electricity, but the European countries offer them nothing, if not, too expensive solutions.

Give work to Europeans and Africans by building only small units able to feed a village, a farm, any company, energy (electricity or compressed air), thanks to the sun and the winds.

Reserve the use of photovoltaic panels (too expensive) for complementary uses: pumps and fans for cooling circuit. (see Project 1 below)

Roads in Central Africa are in too bad shape: To reintroduce in Central Africa the use of amphibious planes, capable of landing on lakes, in order to facilitate trade and revitalize the economy.

Finally, it is wrong to think that the inhabitants of African countries are poor: Gold miners and African telecom companies have substantial financial means.

And there are significant potential customers in South America and Australia.

Their job: Make calls for national funds to investors to build and sell to African means devices allowing them to be autonomous in energy, and that, for the cheapest possible.

African local banks will have to provide the necessary micro-credits, which facilitates debt collection problems.

European leaders must join forces in this direction, and not compete with each other.
