1 POLI 441 POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AFRICA S DEVELOPMENT SINCE INDEPENDENCE SESSION 11 : UNIVERSAL RESPONSES TO AFRICA S ECONOMIC QUAGMIRE Lecturer: Dr. Seidu Alidu Contact Information: smalidu@ug.edu.gh /seidualidu@gmail.com College of Education School of Continuing and Distance Education 2014/ /2017
2 Session Overview Throughout this course, we have identified some of the pertinent challenges that the African continent has faced and the impact of these challenges to successful policy formulation and implementation. The remaining sessions of this course will therefore attempt solutions to these challenges. In this session in particular, we are going to review development strategies, policy solutions and initiatives that are designed outside of the continent and require implementation by countries within the continent. These responses are assumed to be universal and the best and therefore could mitigate the cost of arrested development by members that implement them. Some of the initiative experimented in the continent and falls within this category include Structural Adjustment Programme, Economic Recovery Programme, Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers, the Washington Consensus, the Post-Washington Consensus and the Sustainable Development Goals. Lecturer: Dr. Seidu Alidu 2/28/2018 Slide 2
