Africa in action is an organism founded by men
and women of multiple backgrounds from various
branches. All with common desire of helping
African countries towards long term development
by entreating for strong, consistent leadership
and effective institutions and programs. It
will need to expand and deepen the development
platform, paying special attention to these
factors:
•
Peace and stability
•
Good governance, democratization, civic participation,
empowerment, transparency — all of which are
crucial to fighting corruption
•
Growth, growth and growth! Growth and jobs are
essential for poverty reduction. Only a vibrant
private sector, including farmers, informal
sector entrepreneurs, medium-scale enterprises
and larger domestic and foreign firms can make
this possible.
•
Strengthening service delivery, particularly
with regard to clean water and high-quality
healthcare and education.
•
Special attention to gender and youth. Women
are one of Africa’s strongest assets and have
thus far gone unrecognized and underutilized,
while Africa’s youth represent the continent’s
much-neglected future.
