people with ideas throughout africa empowering them and it isn't just words. it's also money behind it. the u.s. is investing in a lot of projects right across the board. and one in particular, which is not funded directly all the way through by the u.s. is the entrepreneurial thing that was -- project that was actually launched in merikesh in 2014 when a billion dollars was put as the target he announced that that target had been overtaken. it was more money than required around, and there were going to be entrepreneurial centers for women opened in mali in zambia and here in kenya. but that is part of this visit. there are other not so positive parts in which he will be discussing in bilateral talks with the government about many issues related to security to insecurity as well to the threats of al shabaab, from
