Time for Africa

Africa is a continent brimming with talent. Some recognize its undeniable
economic potential and are already investing in it. Its resources, natural and
human, are as diverse as they are abundant. But for this bright future to
become a reality, the continent must address a number of challenges. Africa is
facing many obstacles: economic, social, political, demographic, ecological,
energetic and cultural. I wrote this book to prepare decision-makers in the
public and private sector —?as well as all Africans?— to overcome these
challenges, because by mobilizing all its resources, the continent can build
its future. Based on a careful analysis of the situation, this book offers
ways to reduce poverty and lead the continent along the path of inclusive and
sustainable growth. «?This book should be read by anyone who wishes to invest
in development in Africa. It is an inspiration, and it contains many proposals
that must not be ignored.?» (Abdou DIOUF, former President of the Republic of
Senegal)
