User Review -

africa is the world's poorest continent. But for the first time in a generation—amid all the bad news—there is hope for change. An increasing number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa are showing signs of economic progress, reflecting the implementation of better economic policies and structural reforms. These countries have successfully cut domestic and external financial imbalances, enhancing economic efficiency. They have given greater priority to public spending on health care, education, and other basic social services. In addition, there has been a growing movement toward more open and participatory forms of government that encourage cooperation between the state and civil society. any way we are so proud and very important such like this book' this is much waited that we have missed but fortunately we have now, this is very importan book by the side of africn issue every person who interest the issue of the continent will satisfy this book , i m sure this .............
