Description
While there is increasing optimism about Africa's development prospects – there still are remaining pockets of challenges that need addressing. Understanding the root causes, impediments, and enablers of Africa's development requires timely and evidence-based data and analysis. Transcending physical achievement to also gauge achievement in final outcomes requires indicators that can measure progress in quantitative and qualitative ways. It is line with the above that the African Capacity Building Foundation has just published its 2012 Africa Capacity Indicators Report on the theme: Capacity Development for Agricultural Transformation and Food Security.
