Jakkie Cilliers Africa First!

In this book, Jakkie Cilliers examines where the continent is at and where it will be in 2040 if it continues on the current path. Africa is a continent with boundless potential - it has the natural resources, the population, and the landmass to become a major player on the global stage. Why then, is the gap between Africa and the rest of the world increasing? While the continent has seen improvements in terms of key indicators of human wellbeing like infant mortality and life expectancy, Africa still suffers from massive poverty, weak economic growth, de-industrialisation, an underdeveloped agricultural sector, and poor regional integration, among others. What needs to be done to unleash Africa’s potential and ignite a growth revolution? Authoritative and engaging, this work offers a roadmap for how Africa can catch up with the rest of the world.
