    Agricultural Investment in Africa: A Low Level… Numerous Opportunities
    Authors
    January 12, 2018
    Agricultural investment is a necessary requirement to develop and organize the agricultural sector in Africa. The African agricultural potential offers opportunities to be seized in terms of intensification of production and structuring of the agricultural value chains. Although it is diversified, agricultural investment (public, private and foreign investments), remains weak. The shift towards a modern and intensive mode of agriculture must necessarily go through the development of ...

    The cruise speed with which Latin American economies are starting 2018 will be constrained by low investments and weak productivity growth in the recent past. Positive global economic prospects, the regional cyclical recovery, and policy initiatives to lift productivity are presenting Latin America’s leaders the opportunity to improve that trajectory. Nevertheless, political risks loom ahead. Latin America at a cruise speed… Most Latin American economies enter 2018 at a cruise spe ...

    The need for infrastructure is enhanced by the willingness of citizens to live decently through an increased access to electricity, water, roads and education. The high cost of transactions in Africa highlights the urgency to upgrade infrastructure, support the expanding economies and foster regional integration.

    Ramaphosa à la tête de l’ANC : Une cohabitation qui ne dit pas son nom
    Authors

    January 2, 2018
    Cyril Ramaphosa a dépassé d’une courte tête Dlamini Zuma aux élections pour le remplacement de Jacob Zuma à la tête de l’ANC. Sa victoire ne lui permet pas de franchement crier au succès, aussi bien en prenant en considération l’écart qu’il a enregistré face à la perdante, qu’en tenant compte des rapport de force au sein des organes de décision. Il ne faut cependant pas perdre de vue que l’actuel président de la république, notoirement impliqué dans des affaires de corruptions reste ...

    Ramaphosa at the helm of the ANC: A cloaked cohabitation
    Authors
    Abdelhak Bassou
    January 2, 2018
    Cyril Ramaphosa outpassed Dlamini Zuma in the elections for replacing Jacob Zuma at the head of the ANC. Yet, his victory does not allow him to enjoy a huge success given the short gap he has recorded against the Dlamini Zuma but also given the balance of power within the decision-making bodies. However, we must bear in mind that the current President, notoriously involved in corruption cases, is still being detracted even by his own supporters. Hence, such elements raise the questi ...

    December 22, 2017
    L’agriculture africaine a connu dernièrement une croissance relativement élevée, quoique peu résiliente et tirée principalement par l’extensification. Malgré sa diversité, les niveaux de production restent insuffisants pour autonomiser le continent surtout pour ce qui est des produits alimentaires de base. En misant sur l’intégration, des marges de progrès se présentent aux pays africains pour améliorer l’écosystème de l’agriculture africaine et ses performances. Il s’agit de puiser ...
