Annual Report 2014
Abstract:
According to many indicators, West and Central region, exports are booming, foreign investment is rising, living standards are increasing, poverty rates are declining, and education and health outcomes are improving. At the same time, governance reforms are slowly advancing democracy, transparency and accountability, creating more opportunities for Africans to influence decisions that affect their lives.However, poverty rates remain high, especially in rural areas. In fact, while the share of people living in extreme poverty (on less than US$1.25 a day) has fallen steadily over the past two decades from 58 per cent in 1990 to 48 per cent in 2012 because of population growth, the number of extremely poor people has actually increased. Thus, the region has not progressed fast enough to reach the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving poverty by 2015.
