The search for growth with development:

We’re in this together….

Excerpt from the preface section of the GPWN

“It is without a doubt that in the global perspective Africa is a continent amongst many that has faced the greatest challenges. However, these challenges should, when contrasted against the achievements of prosperous developed countries, not encourage people to believe that these nations are that much better off. In these wealthy nations there are many people who suffer, who endure great hardship, do not have a roof over their heads and who do not know where their next meal will come from. If one takes the time to look away from the sky scrapers, the highways and glamorous lifestyle of the few, beneath it all there are many whose struggle to survive in the developed world, whose ordeal, would rival any similar tale from another continent. The goal therefore is much more complex than the simple desire of developing countries to become as “prosperous” and “developed” as their peers. The analysis must delve much deeper than this simplistic objective.”
