Description: "This book examines various aspects of Africa's development challenges and provides insight into post-genocide Rwanda's challenges and experience, taking into account public sector reforms as an aspect of public policy. Sub-Saharan African countries comprise some of the poorest countries in the world and remain one part of the globe that has not significantly made gains from the benefits of globalization. To some extent, unfortunate as it may be, globalization has marginalized further the prospects for sub-Saharan Africa's recovery and development. The reforms initiated by these countries have largely been externally driven and have not fundamentally brought about the much desired improvement in the socio-economic well being of the people, the majority of whom live in abject poverty."--Book cover.
