A ‘2015’ Agenda for Africa: Development from a Human Perspective

This article argues for a ‘2015’ agenda for Africa: one that is both for and by Africa and that is seen from a human perspective. Such an agenda would not be based on ‘universal’ Targets. It would have a qualitative basis that would take population dynamics and child poverty into account more effectively and focus on long?term capacity building programmes in science and technology. Furthermore, it would emphasise flexibility by providing ‘policy space’ without conditionality.
