Making Africa work: A handbook for economic success

By (author): Greg Mills. By (author): Jeffrey Herbst. Written by Greg Mills, Jeffrey Herbst and former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, this handbook addresses sub-Saharan Africa's central challenge: a population set to double to two billion by 2045, over half of it urban and young. The authors argue this demographic shift can be "a tremendously positive force for change" only if paired with real economic growth and job creation beyond commodity dependence, and the book moves past diagnosis to offer practical, experience-based solutions for sustainable development.
