Why do some countries become prosperous while others remain trapped in poverty? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Sanny Ntayombya sits down with Sandeep Khapre, Regional CEO of BDO East Africa, to examine what it will really take for East Africa to become wealthy. Sandeep explains what investors actually look for before putting money into African countries, where governments get economic development wrong, and whether Africa is building genuinely productive economies.
