| Rethinking Africa's Development Model with References to Uganda |
Fellow Africans, colleagues and friends who are familiar with my work at the United Nations and had read my books asked me to write short, non-technical and user-friendly stories. The young people of Africa that I met in the United States of America and Canada expressed a strong desire to know more about Africa’s past and current events. Since the 1980s, the world economy has been dominated by the Washington Consensus which has collapsed in the wake of the economic recession that began in 2008 – hence the need for a new development model. A broad range of issues has been covered from the role of leaders in Africa’s poor performance, to causes of conflicts in the Great Lakes Region, to the abandonment of the Washington Consensus and to the fading glory of Uganda as a ‘success development story’. The disadvantages of geography, pitfalls of comparative advantage, and challenges of migration and the effects of human interactions have also been reviewed with a view to recommending solutions to secure freedom, respect, harmony, dignity and prosperity for all. A chapter titled “Media Briefs” with short articles – presented chronologically – has been provided for illustrative purposes as more stories – updated regularly – are available at www.kashambuzi.com. Hopefully this contribution intended for a wider readership will add a new dimension to your store of knowledge. Publisher: Jones Harvest Publishing; Pub. Date: 2009; Format: Paperback, 498pp
