Congratulations Sir. Before his accession to this great position, Executive Director of AERC, he chaired my AERC research group, Group C. I am happy that AERC was able to figure him out to head this Top Research Network. Sir, keep your smile alive and your readiness to appreciate; AERC researchers, officials and partners need your welcoming and open hearted approach.

Congrtulations, Prof. Lemma,

I believe your appointment is timely and couldn’t have been any other person than you at this time for AERC and for Africa in general, looking at what you’re bringing on board. I wish you well Prof.

Congratulations Prof. Lemma, it’s a great honor. The continent’s growth depends on each countries stability and most importantly a true democratic leaders. I hope ECA & AU would establish a system that enforce accountability of the elected officials.

Again Good Luck Prof. Lemma!

The apponitment is timely. DR. Senbet’s vision to scale up the partnership of African institutions as well as the private sector engaged at the interface of private and public policy issues, such as governance, risk management, and financial regulation is right on point because as it stands tight now the AERC’s mission rests on two premises. First, that development is more likely to occur where there is sustained sound management of the economy. Second, that such management is more likely to happen where there is an active, well-informed group of locally based professional economists to conduct policy-relevant research. The organization needs to do more and expand.

Welcome!

Congratulation to a dear friend and colleague! It should be noted that his accomplishments also live through those that he mentored. Among his former students are currently Dean of Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business and Chief Economist of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

All the Best,

College Park, MD
