Our Continent, Our Future presents the emerging African perspective on this complex issue. The authors use as background their own extensive experience and a collection of 30 individual studies, 25 of which were from African economists, to summarize this African perspective and articulate a path for the future. They underscore the need to be sensitive to each country's unique history and current condition. They argue for a broader policy agenda and for a much more active role for the state within what is largely a market economy. Finally, they stress that Africa must, and can, compete in an increasingly globalized world and, perhaps most importantly, that Africans must assume the leading role in defining the continent's development agenda.

Structural Adjustment and Private Investment in Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This study examines the effect of structural adjustment programmes on private investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. The impact of the three main components of structural adjustment--macroeconomic adjustment, sectoral reforms, and institutional adjustment--on factors that affect private investment, and hence on private investment is delineated theoretically and investigated empirically. The study deals with the effect of restrictive fiscal and monetary policies, and devaluation on investment, the relationship between public and private investment, the importance of credit availability for capital formation, the effect of external debt on investment decisions, and the impact of privatization and deregulation on private investment. The econometric investigation specifies an investment model that takes into account the structural characteristics of developing countries. Data on four African countries--Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe--for the period of 1970-92 is used for the econometric analysis. The equations are estimated by the method of ordinary least square for the four countries separately, as well as using pooled cross-section time series approach. A dummy variable is used to take into account the structural break that may have occurred due to the debt crisis and structural adjustment programmes after 1982. The results show that structural adjustment has failed to revive private investment in Africa. The results on the relationship between many of the economic variables included in the study and private investment tend to be weak. The discussion on the institutional adjustment and its impact on private investment shows that the reforms do not seem to have succeeded in encouraging African entrepreneurship or attracting foreign direct investment.

Structural Adjustment, Reconstruction and Development in Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. First published in 1997, this volume is intended to make a contribution to both the literature and the contentious debate on the relationship between structural adjustment and reconstruction and development in Africa, as seen from the multidisciplinary perspective of academics and practitioners working in Africa on African development problems and issues. The implementation of structural adjustment in Africa has spawned a considerable, and still on-going, debate with vociferous advocates on both sides of the issue, particularly with respect to the efficacy of structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) as an antidote to Africa’s development crisis. This book contributes to that debate with a rich mixture of analytical views and ideas covering a wide range of countries and sectors on the role and impact of structural adjustment programmes on the process of reconstruction and development in Africa.
