Jakkie Cilliers gave a presentation recently at North-West University’s Optentia Research Focus Area, titled ‘Igniting Africa’s Growth Revolution’.

In Africa First! Igniting a Growth Revolution, well-known Africa analyst Cilliers uses 11 scenarios to unpack, in concrete terms, how the continent can ignite a growth revolution that will take millions out of poverty and into employment.

The challenges the continent faces – competing in a globalised world, delivering health care and education, feeding growing populations and grappling with climate change – demand far-sighted policies and determined leadership. Cilliers offers achievable solutions based on African realities.

Authoritative and engaging, the book offers a roadmap for how Africa can catch up with the rest of the world.
