Poverty is a large and growing problem in Africa resulting in an
immense amount of avoidable suffering, foreshortened lives,
frustrated potentials, and joyless existences. The poverty trap is
more than just an economic phenomenon but a social phenomenon as
well. 'African Poverty at the Millennium: Causes, Complexities, and
Challenges' is confined to the sub-Saharan region of Africa. The
analysis found in Part I of this book, emphasizes the many-sided
nature of poverty and the importance of going beyond
generalizations about the poor. Part II looks at the various causes
of poverty in Africa, stressing the powerful ill-effects of a
combination of sluggish past economic growth and large, possibly
widening, inequalities. It also draws attention to the strength of
the social and political factors contributing to poverty. Part III
outlines an anti-poverty strategy, highlighting the necessity for
an inclusive and far-reaching approach, on the basis of joint
action by concerned governments and donors. The poor in Africa are
triply disadvantaged. Firstly, there is a widening international
gap as African social indicators lag behind the rest of the world,
partly as a result of poor growth. Secondly, by Africa's poor
performance in turning income to social welfare. Thirdly, by
national disparities in health and education between the poor and
non-poor.
