SPECIAL FEATUREECA Conference of African Ministers debates challenges of raising finance for the continent's development. African governments have subscribed to the objective of reducing poverty by half by 2015. In order to do so, African economies need to maintain an annual average growth rate of 7 per cent, more than double the current level. Meeting in Addis Ababa in May this year, African ministers of finance, economic development and planning discussed how to mobilize domestic and external resources for poverty reduction, higher growth rates and sustained development.
