Description

"WHAT PROSPECTS FOR AFRICA?"

For decades, the problems of the African continent have confounded the experts despite abundant declarations of political will to solve them. As recently as June 2002, the major donor nations called the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) an "historic opportunity to overcome obstacles to development in Africa". But will they make good on their commitments? Will African governments be up to such tasks as promoting good governance and respect for human rights? And what consequences will issues such as the conflict in Iraq, capital flight, and collapsing school systems have for Africa's future? In this edition of World Chronicle, these and other topics are explored with the help of Professor Ibrahim Gambari, the UN Secretary-General's Special Adviser on Africa.
