The Africa Competitiveness Report 2017

The World Economic Forum has published "The Africa Competitiveness Report 2017: Addressing Africa's Demographic Dividend."

The report highlights areas requiring policy action and investment to ensure that Africa lays a solid foundation for sustained inclusive growth. It discusses the barriers and challenges to putting Africa's economies onto a solid footing and helping them to achieve sustainable, broad-based growth, taking into account rapid demographic changes. The strong economic performance of a number of African countries demonstrates Africa's resilience and brings optimism about Africa's future growth prospects. The report includes detailed discussions of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia, but not any other country in the Horn of Africa.
