Semafor Editorial Context: Alexis Akwagyiram notes that while traditional Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) often gets mired in multilateral bureaucracy, founder-backed EA pledges and AI foundation grants favor high-velocity, milestone-driven technical grantmaking. Hubs with existing developer depth (Lagos, Nairobi) and strong policy sandboxes (Kigali) stand to capture the earliest tranches.
