Book excerpt: The plan was the G-8's considered response to the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), the initiative of African leaders launched in 2001, which the G-8 called "a bold and clear-sighted vision of Africa's development". [...] A subject of considerable speculation prior to the Kananaskis Summit was how much the G-8 would commit in the way of additional resources to support NEPAD, particularly in the form of Official Development Assistance (ODA). [...] Those recommendations address the need to engage in dialogue to garner genuine support from the African public for NEPAD's objectives and means; to replace donor-driven processes governing policies, programs, and projects; to anchor development strategies in the specific social and economic context of each country; and to allocate resources to "non-performing" countries in order to encourage bette. [...] Finally, we thank each of the participants, listed separately in the annex, for authoring papers and engaging in deep and wide-ranging discussions of views, information, and experience on these issues of vital importance to Africa and the world. [...] He subsequently worked in Winnipeg for the Government of Manitoba, in Ottawa for the federal Departments of Finance and External Affairs, and in Washington, DC for the World Bank.
Book Synopsis Markets and States in Tropical Africa by : Robert H. Bates
Download or read book Markets and States in Tropical Africa written by Robert H. Bates and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-04-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following independence, most countries in Africa sought to develop, but their governments pursued policies that actually undermined their rural economies. Examining the origins of Africa’s “growth tragedy,” Markets and States in Tropical Africa has for decades shaped the thinking of practitioners and scholars alike. Robert H. Bates’s analysis now faces a challenge, however: the revival of economic growth on the continent. In this edition, Bates provides a new preface and chapter that address the seeds of Africa’s recovery and discuss the significance of the continent’s success for the arguments of this classic work.

Book excerpt: It assessed the implications of the Monterrey Consensus, which supported NEPAD, for Africa, and it iden- tified the issues likely to be on the agenda of the United Nations World Summit for Sustainable Development to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in September 2002. [...] In addition, the conference addressed aid reform in Africa; Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), which are jointly administered by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) and are strongly influencing the practice of aid delivery; the related pro- gram for poor country debt relief (the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) Initiative of the IMF); and the NEPAD itself. [...] The Committee and leaders should agree on a process to anchor development strategy and social and economic policy in a rigorous analysis of the context and constraints in each partner country. [...] One of the challenges of the dialogue between the NEPAD Steering Committee and the G-8 leaders is to clarify what these concepts mean to each of them. [...] The wealth of the donor countries and the great financial need of the African part- ners tilts the balance of power heavily in favour of the donors.

[...] They have "reduced the cost and increased the speed of communications across the globe, abolishing pre-existing barriers of time and space, and in consequence affecting all areas of social and economic life. [...] The completion of the map- ping of the malaria parasite genome and the genomes of bacteria and many other parasitic organisms will pave the way for the development of vaccines and other control measures for many of the tropical diseases in the developing world. [...] Toward the lower end of the development spectrum there is an almost total disjuncture between science and industry."14 The distribution of benefits of the dual revolutions and the closing of technological gaps between Africa and the rest of the world are some of the key policy and political issues of governance today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his widely acclaimed survey, John Mbiti sheds light on the survival and prosperity of African Religion in different historical, geographical, sociological, cultural, and physical environments. He presents a constellation of African worldviews, beliefs in God, use of symbols, valued traditions, and practices that have taken root with African peoples throughout the vast continent. Mbiti’s accessible writing style sympathetically portrays how African Religion manifests itself in ritual, festival, healing, the human life cycle, and interplay with the mystical and invisible world.

This popular introduction leaves readers with informed knowledge of the riches of African heritage.

Book Synopsis Poverty in a Rising Africa by : Kathleen Beegle
Download or read book Poverty in a Rising Africa written by Kathleen Beegle and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceptions of Africa have changed dramatically. Viewed as a continent of wars, famines and entrenched poverty in the late 1990s, there is now a focus on “Africa rising†? and an “African 21st century.†? Two decades of unprecedented economic growth in Africa should have brought substantial improvements in well-being. Whether or not they did, remains unclear given the poor quality of the data, the nature of the growth process (especially the role of natural resources), conflicts that affect part of the region, and high population growth. Poverty in a Rising Africa documents the data challenges and systematically reviews the evidence on poverty from monetary and nonmonetary perspectives, as well as a focus on dimensions of inequality. Chapter 1 maps out the availability and quality of the data needed to track monetary poverty, reflects on the governance and political processes that underpin the current situation with respect to data production, and describes some approaches to addressing the data gaps. Chapter 2 evaluates the robustness of the estimates of poverty in Africa. It concludes that poverty reduction in Africa may be slightly greater than traditional estimates suggest, although even the most optimistic estimates of poverty reduction imply that more people lived in poverty in 2012 than in 1990. A broad-stroke profile of poverty and trends in poverty in the region is presented. Chapter 3 broadens the view of poverty by considering nonmonetary dimensions of well-being, such as education, health, and freedom, using Sen's (1985) capabilities and functioning approach. While progress has been made in a number of these areas, levels remain stubbornly low. Chapter 4 reviews the evidence on inequality in Africa. It looks not only at patterns of monetary inequality in Africa but also other dimensions, including inequality of opportunity, intergenerational mobility in occupation and education, and extreme wealth in Africa.
Book Synopsis Economic Development in Africa Report 2019 by : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
Download or read book Economic Development in Africa Report 2019 written by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and published by . This book was released on 1901 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) represents a historic opportunity for the continent to boost intra-African trade and accelerate structural transformation. However, this relies on a critical policy instrument: the effective implementation of preferential trade liberalization among the AfCFTA members. Whether in practice African firms will utilize tariff preferences under the AfCFTA depends on a critical factor: rules of origin (RoO) and the net benefits of complying with them. The Economic Development in Africa Report 2019 argues for the adoption of flexible RoO and a strengthening of institutional capacities to ensure an impartial, transparent, predictable, consistent and neutral implementation of agreed RoO.
