Sub-Saharan Africa faces three big inter-related challenges over the next generation. It will double its population to two billion by 2045. By then more than half of Africans will be living in cities. And this group of mostly young people will be connected with each other and the world through mobile devices.

Properly harnessed and planned for, this is a tremendously positive force for change. Without economic growth and jobs, it could prove a political and social catastrophe. Old systems of patronage and of muddling through will no longer work because of these population increases. Instead, if leaders want to continue in power, they will have to promote economic growth in a more dynamic manner.

Making Africa Work is a first-hand account and handbook of how to ensure growth beyond commodities and create jobs in the continent.

Industry Reviews

'A timely and important book.' * Paul Collier *
'I wish I had this handbook when I was president of Malawi. It not only offers convincing arguments on what to do, but practical examples and steps on how to get things done.' * Joyce Banda *
'The go-to guide to informed choices for a better Africa.' * Mondli Makhanya *
'Beyond the hype and cliches, a blueprint for a prosperous Africa' * Donald Kaberuka *
'At last, a book on how rather than what to do to improve the fortunes of Africa's people.' * Mmusi Maimane *
'The message from the authors is stark: reform or perish.'
