Africa’s Renaissance: A Critical Discussion

Several African countries have experienced rapid economic growth over the past decade. But will growth lead to sustainable development? Can growth be tempered with equity? Is the private sector the key to growth and development? What is the role of aid and foreign investment? How can African countries mobilize their own resources to promote their own development?

Join us for a lively discussion of these questions with Speakers:

Tetteh Hormeku-Ajei is Head of Programmes at Third World Network-Africa in Ghana

James Henry is the former chief economist of McKinsey and Co. in the United States

Vitalice Meja (based in Kenya) co-ordinates the Reality of Aid Africa
