Ten-Year Vision for the New Strategy
Accelerated Growth and Diversification
•20 countries average 3-4% annual per capita GDP growth
•5 countries achieve MIC status
•15 countries register 5% or higher agricultural GDP growth per year
•Regionally integrated infrastructure (“missing links” in ICT, energy, roads and rail reduced by at least 50%)
•Access to infrastructure increases (50% of households with power)
Employment Creation and Poverty Reduction
•Labor absorbed at rapid pace; SMEs growing rapidly
•Decline in poverty rate by 12 percentage points
Sample Benchmarks
•17 “emerging economies” plus Kenya, Malawi, Benin have averaged close to 2% or higher GDP per capita growth for 12 years
•Ghana, Zambia, Mauritania , Comoros, Kenya, currently on the threshold*
•8 countries averaged 5% agricultural growth from 2002-2006
•Today, only 25 percent of African households have access to power.
•Between 1995 and 2005, the poverty rate declined by about one percentage point a year. *Threshold is $1,000 per capita income

•Progress beyond MDGs to quality health and education
Improving Governance
•Governance indicators steadily rising
•ICT revolution strengthening accountability in the public sector
Climate Change
•Climate change adaptation measures in place
