Synopsis

This report is a comprehensive annual survey of economic and social progress in Africa. The report's theme this year - infrastructure for development in Africa - examines the state of infastructure in Africa. Africa's infastructure trails the world, in both extent and quality. Poor infastructure is a major obstacle to the region's economic growth, and adversely affects the living standards of its people. The report explores the strategies and policies required to improve infrastructure services in the pursuit of the overarching objectives of private-sector-led growth and poverty reduction. The report also provides economic and social statistics on the Continent. This book is intended for scholars and students of development economies, development studies, African studies, public policy and administration, social policy and sociology.
