This policy paper provides a comprehensive strategy to help African and international decisionmakers successfully mobilize financial resources and effectively build capacity for improved implementation of the post-2015 development agenda. It discusses the relevance and efficient use of a wide range of tools that can be adopted by development actors, depending on their specific context and goals. Actors evaluated include African countries and regional institutions, “North-South” country cooperation, “South-South” country cooperation, international financial institutions, and key stakeholders such as the private sector, civil society organizations, research centers, and think tanks.

    If the recent peaceful transfer of power in Madagascar heralds a new trend, then the Malagasy people can dream big. For decades, the exercise of economic-cum-political power in the hands of a tiny elite has held the entire nation hostage. Today, the high poverty rate—around 80% (2021) stands in stark contrast to the natural resource abundance of this huge enormous island. There is hope, however, that with political stability, the Plan d’Émergence Madagascar (PEM) President Andry R ...

Le débat déborde naturellement le cadre de travail des commissions et des séances publiques parlementaires pour irradier la presse, les acteurs économiques et sociaux et l'opinion publique.
