Description
Sub-Saharan Africa faces significant challenges over the next generation. By 2045, its population is projected to double to two billion, with more than half living in cities and connected through mobile devices. This demographic shift presents both opportunities and risks. Without economic growth and job creation, it could lead to social and political instability. Old systems of patronage and ad-hoc decision-making will no longer be effective due to these population increases. To remain relevant, leaders must adopt a more dynamic approach to promoting economic growth beyond commodities and creating jobs on the continent. Making Africa Work offers a first-hand account and practical guidance on how to achieve this goal, providing valuable insights for those seeking to understand and address the complex challenges facing the region.
