Africa's pursuit of development often seems mired in confusion. Is this the reality, or a reflection of persistent negative narratives? Despite its rich human and natural resources, Africa continues to rely on foreign support, foreign goods and services and above all foreign culture and languages. These remain a pressing issue that must be resolved and overcome for Africa to move forward. This book outlines these challenges that have slowed Africa's progress toward true independence and sustainability. It also suggests ways each of these challenges could be overcome to enable Africa to capture the destiny of her peoples and lead them to take ownership of Africa. By taking ownership of its future, the continent can chart a path toward lasting success. The author relies on his over two decades of international experience to offer key insights into the strategic approaches needed to unlock Africa's hidden potentials to reshape its future.
