Excerpt:
'2011 will be an important year for Africa. The year after the continent marked the 50th anniversary of independence for 17 African countries and the 10th anniversary of theMillennium Declaration, it has also been around a decade since steps toward creating the AU und NEPAD were taken. In a series of DIE Briefing Papers, researchers from Europe and Africa look into African Developments about a decade after the revival of the African Agenda to take stock and identify the challenges facing the continent in the years to come.'

Author: Dr. Michael Bruentrup is senior researcher at DIE. His research focuses on agricultural policy in sub-Saharan Africa.
