Going Public Launch Party 2009
15th December 2009
Africa Research Institute launched it's latest paper Going Public: How Africa's integration can work for the poor. The publication considers half a century of efforts to advance Africa's integration - a process often hamstrung by a surfeit of competing ambitions and lack of political will. The authors argue that regional integration in Africa needs new direction - it's overriding purpose must be to reduce poverty. For too long policymakers have placed disproportionate emphasis on the creation of larger trading blocs. Regional public goods, whether publicly or privately funded, are a more effective way to help the poor.
