Abstract
AbstractThis chapter concentrates on the development lessons for the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It discusses several characteristics that distinguish these countries from the other low-income countries and least developed countries and that affected their economic growth in the last two decades. Also discussed is the problem of food insecurity and its links to agricultural production and income shortfalls in SSA countries. In light of their past experience and their social, geographic, and political characteristics, the chapter examines alternative future scenarios and the effectiveness of alternative trade, growth and 'pro-poor' policies. This analysis takes into account the wider changes in the global economy that affect their future prospects.
