The African Economic Conference urges changes in continent's economies
The African Economic Conference urges changes in continent’s economies. The Kinshasa Outcome Document, summarizing salient points of the conference, noted the prevalence of poverty, the high cost of doing business in the continent, governance failures caused by overdependence on primary commodities, weak health infrastructure, lack of gender equality, low quality of education and lack of credible data as some of the factors hampering inclusive economic growth in Africa. To change economies for the benefit of the majority of citizens by ending poverty is a “matter of will, accountability and good governance,” said Mr. Abebe Shimeles, the Acting Director of the African Development Bank. Mr. Shimeles encouraged policy makers to speak truth to leaders to allow implementable policies to take effect.
