if you go to the beach in ghana you will see a real quickly.we are working with them in the pilot called integrated waste management system that said normally when waste is collected and transported to a disposal facility it's all at cost. we are trying to turn that into a revenue generating center that can generate private financing to support it and were taking a look at these different streams of waste to go to some central facility and it treats it rather than exposing it in the landfill that can be sold for revenues that can finance what was previously just a cost. we use that how it goes into landfills but some of it is recycled building materials and cooking gas and by electricity and compost and a carbon credit. these are products now have been converted from a policy measure which is improved waste management and standardized and aggregated and in ghana 260 districts showing how you can do this in a district and replicated nationally. we structure this so that your generating revenues from creation of these products in their sales at s

the young entrepreneurs that i met in ghana, the tech business park i went to in abuja, the entrepreneurse in kenya, and that business side of africa now needs to become the central motor of our relationship and they look at britain, they see you've got the city of london, you've got more tech start—ups than anywhere in europe, you've got europe's biggest media centre, and they want us to be helping them to develop africa in all those very exciting ways. if you want them to partner with the united kingdom, you, of course, have to convince them that the united kingdom is politically and economically stable, and has a clarity of vision where it is going. the uk does not have that right now, does it? well, brexit has obviously been a big challenge for the uk but what i say to the leaders who asked me this very question is that brexit is actually a very strong sign of the strength of our democracy, because you see the divisions amongst people in britain, about our relationship with europe reflected in parliament, you see all these debates played out in democratic institutions. let's talk abou

in ghana, they have done it four times since independence and, in the end, the real stability is theowing that when one regime ends, you will have a transfer of power that is peaceful to the next set of people, and that is a precious gift that you get with democratic systems, and not to be underestimated. let's then talk in practical terms about what britain says to nations in africa and elsewhere that want to develop deeper trading and investment relationships. one of the key elements comes back to our earlier discussion about brexit. they need to know whether britain, in the long run, is going to be in a customs union with the european union, which of course means that britain will not have its own independent trading negotiations with them because it would still be part of the eu for trade negotiations, or whether it is going to be entirely independent. what is the answer to that? i can't say what the precise nature of our trading arrangements with the eu will be because we are in the middle of all those discussions and obviously, like everyone back home... when you come on these
