Ending poverty means abandoning charity and accepting reality
| |
| Benin Mwangi, who blogs about doing business in Africa, asked me recently: "should the discussion be about how to get the informal sector to become part of the formal sector or should it be how to cater to the informal sector?" This in an excursion into the morass of African poverty and development.
The short answer is: neither; ending poverty has nothing to do with the informal sector.

| |
| African economies are experiencing a structural shift whereby the service sector is
becoming an important driver of growth. In 2004, the service sector contributed 49
per cent of GDP growth compared to 36 per cent for industry (including mining
and quarrying) and 15 per cent for agriculture. In 2004, all three sectors continued
to grow, albeit at relatively low rates. The industrial sector had the highest growth
rate at 9.05 per cent, although growth in the manufacturing sector fell by almost 3.8
per cent compared to 2003. Developments within each sector and for each subregion
are discussed in more detail below. |

Happiness is a Choice
| |

About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
| |
| In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.”
The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector. |
