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). In Africa, more than 40% of its 750 million people live below the internationally recognized poverty line of $1 a day, and the evidence is even more worrying for sub-saharan Africa.

From Rhetoric to Action: The African Investment Climate Facility
The Investment Climate Facility (ICF) for Africa, an innovative public private partnership aimed at making Africa a better place in which to do business, was launched. The Commission for Africa, convened by the United Kingdom government, had proposed the initiative, which was endorsed at last year's World Economic Forum Africa Economic Summit and by the leaders of the G 8 industrialized nations at their summit in Scotland. According to ICF Co Chair and session Chair Niall FitzGerald, Chairman, Reuters, United Kingdom; Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, the facility had already received US$ 90 million in commitments. Additional unspecified pledges made by the European Union and the African Development Bank during the session were likely to push the total above US$ 100 million.

What Drives China’s Growing Role in Africa?
China’s fast-growing economic ties with Africa are attracting considerable attention. The relationship came into the spotlight during the summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing in November 2006 and the Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Shanghai in May 2007. While the expansion of trade and investment between Africa and China has been generally welcomed, concerns have been expressed about how China’s growing presence might affect African development.2 But what roles exactly has China played?
CONCLUSION: What Drives China’s Growing Role in Africa?
This paper intends to provide an assessment, based on fractional information, of China’s economic involvement in Africa and to identify the forces shaping burgeoning China-Africa economic relations. The study is undertaken against the background of a rapidly changing landscape of international trade and finance that has eclipsed traditional aid flows to middleincome countries, making Africa ever more central for development finance.
African Technology Development
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. The correct application of this concept causes great debate, and it is continuously refined and revised both physically and academically. In light of the above, I want to give some insight from within Africa.
