While the focus of the Africa narrative a decade ago was whether the continent would ever deliver on its latent potential, the shift has been such that the conversation is now about how high this ceiling can be. Africa’s positive outlook and the surrounding sense of optimism have been a boon to the increased focus on the continent, particularly in a global context where developed economies are still recovering from financial turmoil and BRIC nations have not delivered on expected growth. In Africa, there is no longer the sense of a false dawn; instead, there is the vision of a resurgent Africa where economic growth is comparable to or even faster than any other continent and marked improvement in human development is no longer a mirage but is within reach.
