Economic Development in Africa (Energy Resources Development)

By United Nations

Given the lack of adequate resources to finance long-term development in Africa, the need to attract foreign direct investment has become a key aspect of development strategies in recent years advocated by policymakers at national, regional and international levels. This publication evaluates the benefits and disadvantages that FDI brings for the host country in efforts to achieve sustainable economic development, and calls for a more balanced strategic approach which sufficiently recognises the economic and development challenges facing African countries.
