It is estimated that Africa only has 75,000 kilometers of rail, less than what China has on its highspeed railway. The U.S. has over 250,000 kilometers of rail. Africa is making efforts to modernize its railway network #engineering @Kymcee @ASMEdotorg asme.org/topics-resources/co…

I spent some time looking at the journey Kenya's Jua Kali industry is and can take to modernize. This is part of my work as an editorial fellow at @engineer4change and @ASMEdotorg. Thanks to @CitraSupercool, Jeff Waters and Rob Goodier for the support. asme.org/topics-resources/co…

Kenya seeks to modernize its informal engineering sector to boost manufacturing. - ASME

Kenya’s Jua Kali sector has lagged behind in the employment of modern engineering technologies in order to push Kenya’s nascent manufacturing industry.
