Africa Matters

Africa is demanding better access to climate finance, as the continent receives less than 10% of global adaptation funding despite being heavily impacted by climate change. In light of this, Channel Africa together with Wits Business School will host Africa Matters Summit on the 25th of March in Johannesburg South Africa. This year's theme is climate change "Financing Africa's Recovery." Peter Ndoro spoke to one of the panelists at the summit, Dr Shingirirai Mutanga a research director at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research CSIR

Dicksy Ngqula, the Business Manager of Channel Africa joined a special Best of Africa episode live on Metro FM, where he cast the spotlight on the Africa Matters Summit.
