This policy paper provides a comprehensive strategy to help African and international decisionmakers successfully mobilize financial resources and effectively build capacity for improved implementation of the post-2015 development agenda. It discusses the relevance and efficient use of a wide range of tools that can be adopted by development actors, depending on their specific context and goals. Actors evaluated include African countries and regional institutions, “North-South” country cooperation, “South-South” country cooperation, international financial institutions, and key stakeholders such as the private sector, civil society organizations, research centers, and think tanks.

    The end of supply chain is the natural corollary of the sustained price fall of virtually all commodities observed over the past many months. If it appears premature to state exactly what is the impact of this deconsolidation in the commodities value chain, it is believed that the strategic role of physical trading is strengthening. Under such circumstances, the industrial strategies of developing countries and commodity exporters may have to evolve and, in priority, foster optimizi ...

    Depuis le déclenchement de la crise économique et financière internationale, la politique budgétaire a connu un vif regain d’intérêt dans les arènes académiques et dans les débats des policy-makers, aussi bien dans les pays avancés que ceux en voie de développement. Pour un pays en voie de développement comme le Maroc, l’importance de la politique budgétaire réside dans le potentiel qu’elle offre en matière de stabilisation du cycle économique et de relance de l’activité en période ...

    The issue of a powerful fiscal policy comeback is not only being debated in Europe. It is also interesting for Morocco, in many respects. If in Europe there is controversy between the proponents of the structural budgetary balance rule and critics of restrictive policies in the context of major financial and recessive shocks, in the South of the Mediterranean fiscal policy is caught between the multiple social and economic requirements and the constraint of sustainability. ...

    November 19, 2015
    Au cours de la dernière décennie, le Ghana a enregistré des taux de croissance moyens supérieurs à 7 % par an, ce qui lui a permis d’accéder au statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire de la tranche inférieure. Toutefois, la croissance a récemment marqué le pas pour s’établir à 4,2 % en 2014, ce qui soulève la question de la pérennité du modèle de développement du pays. Le Ghana se trouve désormais à un stade critique de son processus de développement. Une transformation structurelle ...

    International trade has become a pervasive feature of our lives, yet it remains controversial and resisted across the world. High and rising income inequality, which is often blamed on international trade, especially trade with China, is one reason. But the main driver of inequality is new technology, not international trade. Although trade interacts with new technology in ways that often lead to higher inequality, trade and technology also lie at the root of economic advance. So th ...
