Policy paper on African growth, poverty reduction and the G-20
This project will develop a paper aiming to conceptualise the development agenda at the G20 from an African perspective. The paper aims to influence the G-20 Working Group on Development and the debate on how the G-20 incorporates development around the Seoul Summit.
The proposed paper will be structured around the following key concepts:
-
What are the key determinants of growth, especially of pro poor equitable sustainable growth?
-
Development at the G20 and African growth initiatives so far
-
Possible links between the G20 policies and African growth and development
-
Three case studies on G20 engagement in Africa
-
Regional Economic Integration – G-20 involvement in supporting hard and soft infrastructure development
-
G-20 FDI in Africa
-
Special Economic Zones - can they work for pro-poor development?
The paper will also include recommendations on how G-20 policies could have positive impacts on African growth and poverty reduction.
