5.3 Conclusion: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| This chapter has shown that there are clear and measurable determinants of diversification
in Africa at the continental, subregional and country level. Despite the
inadequacy of African data, it may be said that, at least at the continental level, the
diversification process is highly influenced by investment, per capita income, level
of openness, macroeconomic policy stances, governance, and conflict. |

5.0 Diversification and Growth: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| The presentation in the previous chapter has painted a varied picture of the results
of Africa’s efforts to diversify its economies. At the same time, regional differences
between Africa, Asia and Latin America were compared. The question then becomes
why some countries or regions achieved breakthrough in their diversification efforts
while others did not? Identifying the determinants of diversification is one part of
solving this puzzle. Linking these policy instruments to growth and development
outcomes through growth is the other part of the puzzle. This chapter is about fitting
both parts of the puzzle together. |

VI. Module III: National, Regional, and International Support
| |
| Microfinance initiatives are more likely to succeed in a supportive national, regional, and
international environment. Applying a systems’ perceptive, poverty eradication is recognized as
a multi-scale endeavor with different partners participating at the local, national, regional, and
international levels. Whereas the foregoing discussion has focused on microfinance lessons for
the local level, this section will broaden the scope with lessons that scale up through the state to
the global community. |

Regional Economic Communities in Africa
| |
| Regional economic integration has a long history in Africa. The South African Customs
Union (SACU) was established in 1910 while the East African Community (EAC) was
set up in 1919. The East African Community collapsed in 1987 but is now being actively
revived. Currently there are 14 regional economic communities in Africa. |

Objective Reality
| |
| If you want to create results that are truly important to you, it is critical to separate your
identity (who you are) from the results you want. Feeling good or bad about yourself has little bearing on the quantity or quality of your results. If you doubt this, consider famous people with extreme self-doubts or poor self-concepts who produced spectacular results. The results of standardized tests indicate that students who "felt good about themselves" often performed lower than the scores they predicted they would achieve.

Former IBM Pro Lashes Out Over Sales Assessment
| |
| A CEO of a fairly large-sized but under-performing OEM asked us to evaluate his sales force. One of the three regional managers, who assessed as poorly as any regional manager could, called to complain about his results. In addition to calling me a toad, Bob said that in the eighties he used to sell and manage at IBM and he led the top performing team. He finished by letting me know that we didn't know what we were talking about and, by the way, he would be picking me up at the airport for the kick-off of their national training initiative. |
