Africa: Continent Ripe for Citizen-Led Development Plan
From allAfrica.com, excerpt:
There have been real improvements in Africa over the past decade. Economic growth has been averaging about five per cent a year, 34 million more children are in school, malarial death rates have nearly been halved in a number of countries and more than three million people are on life-preserving AIDS medications.
Africa can build on this progress to achieve sustainable development by establishing a new citizens’ compact. This bottom-up approach would ensure that development is devolved, that citizens are connected with new technologies, that executive powers are diffused, that political parties are strengthened and that the integrity of leaders and governance institutions firmly take centre stage.
