By advocating an integrated and multi-sectoral approach, capable of promoting development strategies and planned and inclusive changes, the present work – published with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) – highlights the challenges, but also the potential of the African continent as well as the best practices required to succeed on the road towards emergence.

Indeed, Africa has the human, economic and environmental resources which, when combined, ought to enable the virtuous process of emergence to be initiated. However, the fact remains that many countries are still confronted to major challenges, such as the fight against poverty and inequality, the achievement of growth which creates wealth and productive and decent jobs, the structural transformation of modes of production and consumption, technological mastery and the modernisation of public administration.

Through the analysis and guidelines it offers, this book – which was co-written by high-ranking officials of African public administrations and experienced United Nations System practitioners – constitutes a work of reference to support African countries, international institutions and development partners. It aims to promote a better understanding of the challenges and issues of emergence.

Le Score:

Vous aurez remarqué que la fiche de chaque livre contient un nombre baptisé SCORE.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Il s'agit d'une évaluation communautaire de chaque livre calculée sur une échelle de 0 à 100.

Cette évaluation repose sur une agrégation de diverses quantités qui reflètent la vie de chaque livre au sein de la communauté ScholarVox. Cette vie s'exprime en fréquence de lecture, nombre d'étagères publiques, privées, professorales dans lesquelles le livre est présent.

Un calcul "propriétaire" mélangeant ces quantités vous restitue sous la forme synthétique d'un Score l'intelligence collective incorporée dans chaque livre. Ce Score n'est pas une note scolaire, c'est bien plus un indicateur de l'aura collective du livre.

Car, pour paraphraser Robert Parker, expert ès-notation des vins, " ...there can never be any substitute for your own reading palate nor any better education than reading the book yourself."
