IT COULD TAKE OVER 100 YEARS FOR GHANA AND OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO BECOME
‘DEVELOPED’ – REPORT

Source: Blessed Sogah  
  24 November 2024 10:26am



The latest African Economic Outlook released by the African Development Bank
Group (AfDB) has detected what it describes as desynchronization between
economic growth performance and sustainable development which suggests that
Africa’s current development model is not fit for purpose.



According to the document,  The  Existing  Development  Model,  which relies
heavily on resource extraction without value addition,  urgently requires a
complete overhaul if the continent is to catch up with other regions. 

“The urgency is such that,  under a business-as-usual scenario, it could take
today African countries more than a century on average (108 years, for a median
of  86  years)  to transition to a high-income status,” the  report noted.

Africa remains the second-most economically unequal region in the world,  after 
Latin  America and the  Caribbean.

Over 600 million people on the continent currently have no access to electricity
and more than 600,000  die annually from indoor air pollution associated with
the use of biomass (charcoal) for cooking and at current growth trends, close to
9 out of 10 of the world’s extremely poor people will be in Africa by 2030.



In Gaborone-Botswana, the United Nations Development Programme in Partnership
with the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the African Development
Bank AfDB is hosting the 2024 African Economic Conference which is reflecting on
the theme: “Securing Africa’s Economic Future Amidst Rising Uncertainty.”

While delivering his address at the opening ceremony of the event, Vice
President of the African Development Bank, Prof Kevin Chika Urama recommended
that “Addressing these recurrent uncertainties requires a multifaceted
approach.”

He started by first calling for a fundamental rethinking of the underpinning
models of global governance, economic development policy, and new innovations in
economic diplomacy and multilateralism.

He also argues that this must be done together with home-grown solutions
embedded in local realities. Countries need to realise now more than ever, that
national development must not be outsourced.



Development is a do-it-yourself business while adding that Africa’s prevalent
predicaments demand effective collaboration and equal partnerships among
development institutions, countries and national governments, the private sector
and citizens.

To be sustainable, Professor Urama emphasized that “the development process must
be inclusive – proactively harnessing all forms of capital, especially human and
natural capital, with a laser focus on beneficiation and value addition.”

Organizers of this year’s African economic conference remain hopeful that given
the opportunities provided by the forum to review the continent’s experiences
and strategies a more resilient development pathway will be crafted for Africa,
going forward.
