Policy challenge and development in Africa

Abstract

We present this issue of African Journal of Governance and Development against the backdrop 
of the recently released MDG Report of 2013: Assessing progress in Africa toward the Millennium 
Development Goals. The forward to this Report states that:“Africa must commit to inclusive, transformative development that reduces income poverty, creates decent jobs, enhances access to social services, reduces inequality and promotes resilience to climate-related hazards”.
