Awale I Shirwa

Growth Diagnostic studies in Africa are dominated by the HRV (Hausmann-Rodrik-Velasco) theoretical framework, which is crucial for applied work by institutions like the AfDB. In my new paper👇, I argue that this framework needs serious modifications to be truly relevant for Africa.

I suppose many people do, but that’s out of touch with Ethiopia’s current reality. I wish Woreda-level positions were filled purely on merit. This could be done quietly, and I’ve learned the hard way that those positions can make daily life either a living hell or much easier.

One of the most absurd narratives peddled by ethnonationalists is that meritocracy in the civil service & private land ownership would somehow result in Amharas owning the entire country. The idea of a level playing field is terrifying to them.

I truly wish for a country where a man's appointment doesn't parallelly get analyzed with his ethnic background. Just a name and a title. And title based on Merit irrespective of ethnic or any other affiliation.

Congratulations Shirwa. And thank you for supporting our people in places that one of them can’t get to!

I have no doubt in my mind that you could have done a lot better than many people who are in SL government. I sincerely hope that your turn will come soon.

Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland, Mudane Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Cabdillaahi (Cirro), iyo weftigii ballaadhnaa ee uu hoggaaminayey ayaa si nabad ah uga degay Madaarka Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) ee magaalada Washington, D.C., halkaas oo ay si diirran ugu soo dhaweeyeen bulshada reer Somaliland ee ku dhaqan dalka Maraykanka iyo saaxiibada Somaliland. Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland waxa safarka ku wehelinaya Marwada Koowaad ee Qaranka JSL, iyo xubno kale oo ka tirsan weftiga Madaxweynaha oo ay ka mid yihiin masuuliyiinta hoos ku xusan: 1.
