| description |
The point of this paper is to emphasize
the importance and role of leadership for African growth,
development, and poverty reduction. It is also an attempt to
project a more objective assessment of leadership issues
during the first three to four decades of African
independence. Agreeing on shared responsibilities for
Africa's failures in its early years will enable all
who want to take part in the continent's renewal to
focus on the partnership that is now needed to close a sad
chapter in Africa's history, and open a new one. The
core elements of such a partnership have evolved in the last
decade, and this paper argues passionately for the political
will, in Africa and outside, for their realization. |
