Publisher Description: Despite unprecedented economic growth in some African countries since 2000, Africa still faces major development challenges. In this important book contributors look beyond the Millennium Development Goals to highlight 12 major public policy conversations about the continent post-2015, arguing that Africa as a continent must work on developing a society that is socially, economically and politically inclusive. |
