A leader’s outlook on how innovation and change are the only way forward to keep the wheel moving.
African economic growth is projected to be 4.1% this year by the African Development Bank. While higher than that of other emerging and developing countries, it remains insufficient to address the structural challenges of persistent current and fiscal deficits, debt vulnerability, acute youth unemployment and infrastructure backlogs.
No single stakeholder can resolve these issues alone, try as they might – not in an era of purposeful partnerships, inclusive growth and stakeholder capitalism. But we can certainly achieve a lot more if all Africa’s stakeholders act in concert.
