The New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) initiative of socio-economic development in Africa: achievements and challenges

Abstract

The timeline for NEPAD’s programme of development in Africa is expected to consummate by 2015. Less than two years to the end-time for NEPAD’s implementation, it is expected that most of her objectives would almost be accomplished by now. Contrastingly however, this study discovered that inspite of some of the achievements of the development agency in Africa, a lot of her programmes are still lingering unaccomplished. These areas of lackluster performance are caused by several constraints besieging her operations. Some of these challenges have circumscribed the developmental agenda of this august body.
