Africa Really ?. By Erika
Amoako-Agyei


Africa is 30,3 million km² and
thus is larger than the
combination of:
China (9,6 million km²),
the US (9,4 million km²),
Western Europe (4,9 million
km²),
India (3,2 million km²)
and Argentina (2,8 million
km²)
plus the Scandinavian
countries and the British
Isles with room to spare.

I. Essential Markets Trends for Africa
               2011 and beyond

 Africa is, and will continue to be, one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the
    world, thanks to surging demand both from abroad (from China and India in particular) and
    at home (fuelled by urbanization and consumerism.
   Telecoms, banking, retailing, manufacturing and even agriculture will be the the region’s
    fastest growing sectors: Africa’s consumer market will
   account for the region’s largest growth.
   Energy from renewable sources, sun, water,wind, biomass, waste
   Low cost housing
   Rapidly expanding, Africa’s youthful workforce, will be a key advantage.
   Smart phones will be the fastest-growing category of handsets, even in the poorer
    areas, where they often serve as a substitute for PCs. .
    commerce will flourish in 2011.
   Africa is well positioned to profit from natural resources as global demand for commodities
    continues to rise.


 Companies that succeed in these neglected emerging markets are not only putting
    down roots in the world’s most fertile soil. They are giving themselves a chance to
    establish business habits for years to come.

EIB European Investment Bank
The EIB has not so far produced any evidence that
its loans have actually benefited local populations
and not corrupted leaders and
businessmen even in more stable political
circumstances. The EIB has invested in
North Africa since 1979 but civil
society activists say the lender concentrated too
much of its investments on the energy sector.
Between 2006 and 2010, the energy sector
accounted for about 93 percent of the 1.85 billion
Euros lent by the EIB to Egypt and 46 percent
of lending to Tunisia.
Promotion of SME equity financing

This can be achieved by retaining
greater reserves within the firm, and by
seeking sources of external private
equity rather than debt finance.

         Micro-financing for SMEs, said Gian Franco Terenzi,
         President WUSME, particularly in agro-industry will have
         priority for WUSME's Action Plan.
         This can be achieved by creating national
          “Mutual SME - Funds for Crises
         Prevention and Development”, financed with the
          CTL Currency Transaction Levy
          and a small percentage of the VAT that SMEs collect
         free of charge for the Finance Ministers.

  • 35. EIB European Investment Bank The EIB has not so far produced any evidence that its loans have actually benefited local populations and not corrupted leaders and businessmen even in more stable political circumstances. The EIB has invested in North Africa since 1979 but civil society activists say the lender concentrated too much of its investments on the energy sector. Between 2006 and 2010, the energy sector accounted for about 93 percent of the 1.85 billion Euros lent by the EIB to Egypt and 46 percent of lending to Tunisia.

How much money does it take to fund a Millennium Village?A core aspect of the Millennium Villages is that the poverty-ending investments in agriculture, health, education, and infrastructure can be financed by donors at an average incremental cost of just $50 per villager per year�$250,000 per village per year. The overhead costs of managing the project in each village are also low, $50,000 per year, since the project draws upon skilled local managers who work alongside the UN Millennium Project and the Earth Institute at Columbia University. This modest investment offers the realistic prospect that a community of 5,000 men, women, and children can achieve the Millennium Development Goals and embark on a path of self-sustaining economic development.On a per person basis, the average total village of $110 per person is comprised of:$50 Donor funding through the Millennium Village program $30 Local and national governments (this is most likely to include funding for interventions themselves and the provision of agricultural and health extension workers in the villages) $20 Partner organizations (e.g., existing programs supported by official bilateral donors) and in-kind corporate giving (for example, Sumitomo Chemical Corporation recently agreed to donate insecticide-treated bednets for the Millennium Villages)$10 Village members, typically through in-kind contributions of their time and expertise Critically, the external financing needs of $70 per capita are in line with the financial commitments made by the leaders of industrialized countries at the 2005 G8 Summit in Gleneagles. G8 countries promised to raise their development assistance to Africa to the equivalent of $70 per capita by 2010.
