In building Africa for the new century, education must take center stage. We focus on the type of education that will bring about self-reliance, business expansion, and the eradication of poverty. On the menu of this first issue we also offer a close look into malaria. Malaria still represents an extremely important health issue on the continent. African progress would be an elusive dream if we do not devote time, energy, and resources to eradicate this enduring scourge.
Human progress is impossible in an environment plagued by such a disease.
The information age is already in progress. To reap all the benefits of Information Technology, we have to be connected to the Internet. We explore the challenges and rewards of African connectivity in the first part of a 4-part series. Finally, African progress must be contextual and self-sustaining to be meaningful. African Culture provides that context.
