High average GDP growth rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will continue to excite the interest of investors, particularly in light of slow global growth. However, averaged projections conceal the significant disparities in the economic and developmental potential that exist between and within SSA's different nations and sub-regions.
Strategic vision and capital investment take active critical roles in defining African development, particularly with a focus on underserved sectors that have had little access to capital and have the ability to accelerate the transition to sustainable local and global economic conditions.
