Finally, we discuss a set of critical challenges requiring effective management for sub-Saharan Africa to realize its considerable development potential. 2019-11-13 11:17:51 2020-04-01T09:29:58Z 2020-04-01T09:29:58Z 2019 chapter 1006315 OCN: 1135845478 9780429292125 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/23822 eng application/pdf n/a 9780367262297_oachapter4.pdf Taylor & Francis Development and Poverty Reduction Routledge 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 58a386d6-ccca-4313-a8be-a9d7b53ac6a5 9780429292125 Routledge 54 2019-11-13 11:01:49, Funder name: The United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research open access
