What's your Africa strategy?
Many of us can agree that today, Africa plays a major role in the development of the global economy. The magazine covers and celebrity reports are a small part of how Africa has become a major player.

Introduction - Abstract - Factors Impeding the Poverty Reduction Capacity of Micro-credit: Some Field Observations from Malawi and Ethiopia
Poverty reduction has been identified as the overarching long term goal for most of the development interventions in Africa, and more recently crystallised in the Millennium Development Goals and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

Economic Development of Africa is an international concept, based on large amounts of donor and aid capital being used to fund development projects. The goal of this is eventually to improve the living conditions of the poor as much as possible, and to ensure that this improvement is sustainable.
