First until the onset of the global economic crisis economic growth was averaging 5 percent a year for a decade accelerating to 6 percent for 2006-8. Growth was widespread some 22 non-oil exporters had 4 percent or higher growth from 1998-2008. While Africa was badly hit by the global crisis thanks to prudent macroeconomic policies and financial support from multilateral agencies the continent avoided an even worse growth shortfall in 2009 and has rebounded in 2010.

Africa s poverty rate was falling at one percentage point a year from 59 percent in 1995 to 50 percent in 20051. Child mortality rates are declining HIV AIDS is stabilizing and primary completion rates are rising faster in Africa than anywhere else. Third Africa s private sector is increasingly attracting investment with much of the funding coming from domestic banks and investors. Returns to investment in Africa are among the highest in the world2. Success of ICT especially mobile phone penetration shows how rapidly a sector can grow. Private capital flows are higher than official development assistance and FDI is higher than in India . China India and others are investing large sums in Africa.
