Despite drought and an Islamist insurgency, with the election of a new president, is Somalia's beleaguered economy finally set to turn the corner? Abdirashid Duale, head of the remittances company Dahabshiil, tells presenter Manuela Saragosa why the mood at a conference on Somalia in London this week was tinged with optimism. Also in the programme, why are so many of Africa's most innovative companies run by women? Tamasin Ford reports from Ivory Coast on one such fast-growing business, producing intravenous fluid.
