The 2011 Economic Report on Africa focuses on two fundamentals of Africa's development experience. First, ensuring sustainable and high economic growth rates, combined with high levels of social development in Africa, is unlikely to be achieved without widespread economic diversification and structural transformation. Second, achieving the desired degree of diversification and transformation in Africa requires the state to assume and play a pivotal role in the development process. The Report also proposes recommendations on related issues, including how to construct developmental states that take into consideration country-specific political, economic and social factors; what instruments the state should use to promote economic transformation through good governance, as articulated by the New Partnership for Africa's Development and its African Peer Review Mechanism; how to guard against the potential risks of state intervention in economic decision-making; and the implications of this development strategy for Africa's integration efforts and its external economic relations.
