"As promised, the U.S.-Africa Leaders' Summit in Washington, D.C. played host to plenty of big announcements. Among them: $1 billion from the Swedish government as it joins U.S. President Obama's signature Power Africa initiative; an additional $7 billion from the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition's private sector partners; a new $100 million "global resilience partnership" between the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Rockefeller Foundation; and $38 million from USAID and others to open leadership centers for young Africans.
