Description: "Can Africa Claim the 21st Century? is a product of the growing collaboration among some of the main institutions involved in African development: the African Development Bank, African Economic Research Consortium, Global Coalition for Africa, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and World Bank. More than 50 scholars, policymakers, and development practitioners - predominantly African - appraised the regions' development at the start of the new century and articulated a road map for the future.

The report provides a broad business plan that countries can adapt - while also arguing for better, more effective partnerships between Africa and its development partners."--BOOK JACKET.
