A '2015' Agenda For Africa: Development From A Human Perspective

This article argues for a '2015' agenda for Africa: one that is both for and by Africa and that is seen from a human perspective. Such an agenda would not be based on 'universal' Targets. It would have a qualitative basis that would take population dynamics and child poverty into account more effectively and focus on long-term capacity building programmes in science and technology. Furthermore, it would emphasise flexibility by providing 'policy space' without conditionality.
