Towards Africa's Renewal

The expected benefits from economic restructuring have not been realized and the debt burden continues to weigh heavily on African economies, constraining the possibilities of growth. This volume brings together leading researchers and analysts to examine issues and identify policy options which can lead to renewal in Africa.
