Focus Africa
The third edition of the Africa Convergence conference In Dakar, focused on “the challenges of strategic implementation”.
In the aftermath of the traumatic structural adjustment programmes, most African countries have set up strategic steering mechanisms to boost growth and development.
But between the strategic vision and its implementation, there are a number of obstacles that the Dakar meeting sought to identify.

Others advocated for the role that women can play in transforming the continent.
