USA Africa Dialogue Series - Africa Capacity Indicators 2011: Capacity Development in Fragile States

Africa's recent development performance has generated optimistic talk that the Continentwill soon join the league of "emerging markets." Key challenges for the Continent are her exposure to external development policies and practices that do not take into consideration the cultural heritage, knowledge systems and institutions of its people, an inability to produce adequate food for its population, which gets worse with global climate change, and political instability and conflict in some countries. This is further accentuated by the limited participation of its people in decision-making, which has resulted in weak governance institutions in many African countries. Inadequate capacity also remains one of the critical missing links to Africa's development. It is therefore common cause that Africa needs to implement more bold economic reforms, build critical infrastructure, improve governance, wealth redistribution and healthcare, and enhance human capital formation through education, research and training.
