Leadership and governance in Africa

Africa has made considerable progress over the last decade.However, the continent still faces a number
of complex and massive challenges in most areas. How can it translate its wealth of resources into improved
quality of life for its citizens, in an equitable and sustainable way? What should governments do
to make sure that their GDP growth is matched by employment gains? Why are political and human rights
still lagging in many areas, despite significant economic progress?

African countries need to define a strategy – a ‘business plan’ – built on an inclusive vision which 
assesses and prioritizes challenges, makes the best use of human, natural and financial resources and 
closely monitors results in order to ensure efficient and tangible implementation.

Corruption creates and increases poverty and exclusion. While corrupt individuals with political power 
enjoy a lavish life, millions of Africans are deprived of their basic needs like food, health, education
housing, access to clean water and sanitation.

Most governments are seen as not doing enough to combat the problem, but citizens of the continent's biggest
economies expressed the most pessimistic outlook. In South Africa, more than four-in-five people said
they have seen corruption rise recently and in Nigeria, the figure stands at 75%. However, the two 
countries have diverse bribery levels -- South Africa stands at just 7% while Nigeria is at 43% 
according to Transparency International.
