This provocative book on The Future of Africa addresses fundamental
genealogical developmental challenges of vital concern to Africa's
transformation is premised on the orientation that the continent's
future is up to Africans, cognizant of the fact that Africans cohabit
the same diversified and inter-connected planet with others. The issues
addressed include: political, economic, social and technological
reconstruction of Africa, the richest but the least developed part of
the world; the need to fight the pandemic of inequality and social
injustice; chronic corruption; the urgent need to usher the rule of law
and of putting in place strategies addressing abject poverty; the
empowerment of the female gender and youths; the comprehensive
development and proper utilisation of indigenous knowledge systems in
partnership with modern science and technology to energize
infrastructural development and the industrialisation prowess of the
continent.
The book unveils vast inadequacies that need to be rectified to give the
continent a new face uplift. It is a comprehensive, Afro-centric
cross-cutting edge publication that structurally examines outstanding
issues plaguing Africa as it advances critical priority policy proposals
for the future of the continent. Policymakers, students, organisations
and institutions will find the book indispensable for the sustainable
transformation of the continent. The underlying message is 'development
with a human face' and without leaving anyone behind.
