About the show

The late Ghanian economist George Ayittey called them "cheetahs" – educated African professionals and entrepreneurs driven to build a better world than the one the “hippos” left them. Hippos, he said are the post-colonial leaders who’ve perpetuated the central planning and wealth inequality imposed by European colonialists, and cheetahs are running rings around them. In this series, we speak with "green cheetahs" who are pro-nature and pro-growth. Most come from the private sector, but some are public-sector, and others are from NGOs, while a few are even of the hippo generation. What unites them is a common drive to meet the triple threats of climate, poverty, and biodiversity-loss head on by restructuring the rural economies of these great nations.
