What is the World Economic Forum on Africa? Here are twenty things to know about the annual meeting, and this year's West African edition.
10. Participants will attempt to identify the challenges and
opportunities shaping Africa’s growth outlook, and how Africa’s growth
strategies could be made to be more inclusive and create jobs and
accelerate regional integration.
11. Discussions will focus on how investments in Africa can drive
diversification and promote inclusive growth, particularly finding ways
African economies can overcome the paradox of resource curse, where,

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; President of Ghana, John Mahama; President of
