| description |
A continent in transition takes
sustainable poverty reduction as the ultimate and
overarching objective of all development strategies. In the
last 5 years, several studies have examined the global and
African experience with a view to developing a broad
framework for pursuing this objective. These include the
World Bank's long-term perspective study on Africa,
several human development reports and world development
reports. The present study looks at Africa's
development agenda in the mid-1990s and asks questions such
as: 1) what has happened to the landscape of Africa's
political economy over the last 5 years? 2) What have we
learned about the development process? 3) How is the
development agenda unfolding as we look to the next decade?
And 4) what are the respective roles of the partners in
African development? The answers to these questions
constitute the findings and recommendations of the study.
However, as important as these findings and recommendations
is the fact that these evolved out of extensive
consultations with African countries and donors. This
process of consultation, especially with African
stakeholders, contributed to a valuable dialogue, paving the
way for understanding and consensus on a number of issues.
Both African countries and donors need to make efforts to
learn from the past, from each other and others, such as
from the East Asian experience. Ultimately, however,
Africa's development strategy will have to be fashioned
in Africa. Realizing this strategy in any meaningful,
broad-based and sustainable manner will be possible only
through a dynamic partnership between the African people,
governments and donors. |
