The poor state of Africa's economy is well documented. A population of 1.4 billion people with a combined GDP of only $3.2 trillion. And more than 400 million Africans living in extreme poverty.
Of the 195 nations of the world, there are fewer than 40 classified as developed or advanced economies, such as USA, Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, Britain, Canada, Belgium, etc. No African countries belong in this category.
What factors, both internal and external, led to this unacceptable state of affairs? What "magic" was performed by the nations currently classified as developed or advanced economies?
What lessons can African nations learn from the tested and successful paths followed by the developed that can be adapted to Africa's unique circumstances and current realities?
Africa's case is not hopeless. After all, China, which was poorer than many African countries in the 1960s, has succeeded in lifting over 800 million Chinese people out of poverty over the last 4 decades. African leaders and Africans have one last chance to take the bold steps required for Africa to rebound from poverty and to prosperity.
This is the focus of "Pathways to Africa's Economic Development Rebound - from Poverty to Prosperity".
