"Africa is rich in natural resources, but poor in human resources,” started Professor Mucavele, the chief executive of the New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), at the Sullivan Foundation’s recent town hall meeting. The professor, who joined us from South Africa, passionately argued that the way to solve Africa’s human development deficit is to allow Africans the space to come up with the solutions.
