Experts' takes on Global Strategic Dialogue

To meet its development needs, Africa needs the same type of growth that China has experienced over the last 40 years, the type of double-digit growth. To make this happen, the multilateral development banks need to play a much bigger role than what we have seen. There is a huge opportunity to get investors, especially from China, to collaborate and help with technology transfer, skill transfer, and investment in integrating Africa into the global energy value chains.
