Human assets for Africa’s development

Globalization places a high premium on scientific and technological capacity to innovate and adapt and to increase productivity and competitiveness. Growth in the knowledge-driven economy is predicated on a labour force that is healthy and well endowed with knowledge and skills. And despite the progress in education and health in Africa over the past half century, both the volume and quality of human capital are widely acknowledged as grossly insufficient to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
