Economic and Social Inclusion in Post-Independence Africa A Conclusion. 330 $aThe second in a three-volume series, this edited volume discusses post-independence economic inclusion in selected African countries. While human development indices rise and poverty rates fall across the African continent, facilitated by recent technological and innovation development which reaches previously inaccessible regions, indicators continue to lag in several crucial areas. Economic and social inclusion, therefore, remains at the forefront of development discussions across the continent. Using a variety of case studies underpinned by multidisciplinary research approaches, the chapters in this book explore a wide range of economic and financial inclusion issues from all aspects; from benefits and challenges to the steps that need to be taken to improve the level of economic inclusion on the continent. Governments, development agencies, non-governmental organizations with a bias toward development, students, and university lecturers will all find this book interesting. 410 0$aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,$x2198-7270 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aAfrican Politics 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 676 $a338.96 676 $a338.96 700 $aMhlanga$b David$01267014 701 $aNdhlovu$b Emmanuel$01372538 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736985303321 996 $aEconomic Inclusion in Post-Independence Africa$93424592 997 $aUNINA
