The NCID will host the 3rd Annual Development Week from June 2th to 6th. This year the conference title is “Africa: A Promising Future”.
We are facing a historic time in Africa. Once coined as a hopeless continent, many within the international community now view Africa as both an investment destination and a territory marked by ongoing prosperity and development. According to the International Monetary Fund, seven of the world’s ten fastest growing economies in the next decade will be in Africa. A decade ago most of the world’s GDP growth was expected to come from Europe and the Americas; however, that trend has reversed and the boom in Africa has resulted in unweighted annual average GDP growth. It is therefore necessary to dedicate this year’s Congress to engage in Africa’s promising future as a means of achieving the ultimate goal: alleviating extreme poverty within a generation.
Considering this information the goal of this year’s Development Week is to come together in order to present our research and begin to discuss Africa’s promising future.
