Description
Excerpt: Fifteen years ago, two overriding realities shaped Africa: the Cold War and apartheid. Both have left residues, but much has changed. As President Hifikepunye Pohamba of Namibia has said, at his country?s independence in 1990 what was needed most was reconciliation today what his country needs most is economic development. And economic development is a major focus of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), in particular the creation of jobs to address staggering unemployment rates in some parts of the continent.
