Progress In Africa

<--Previous Next-->
 

The 1990s have been a decade of progress for Africa. In South Africa, apartheid was eliminated and democratic elections brought in a multiracial government under Nelson Mandela. Since 1994, the economies of the sub-Saharan African countries have been growing an average of 5% a year. Much remains to be done, however, to improve infrastructure, increase investment, raise health and living standards and meet the challenge of globalization.
