Really unfortunate typo in the 6 Assets slide there. "Raiding our children"? Big OOF.

This is an interesting discussion, just to ride on the wave of the question of infrastructure - I also believe that in the setting of a more rural community in Africa, development of road network infrastructure is crucial as this enables movement and livelihood creation (on this the community/ locals come in in the form of social/ local labour or even subcontracting in such infrastructure projects).
