Emmanuel Katto | Growth and Progress of African Countries.

Where African countries are standing today when the world is constantly moving ahead with growth and development. I’m Emmanuel Katto also known as Emmanuel Katto Uganda or Emka Uganda, a local journalist from Uganda. Today I will tell you more about the recent growth and progress in African countries. To know more please have a look below.

African countries in recent years have experienced significant economic growth and development which is higher than that of the past.

Ghana is the fastest-growing economy in West Africa. This country is known for its activities concerning gas, mining, agriculture etc. The country has led many economic reforms that have resulted in attracting foreign direct investment. The ease of doing business and governance system is favourable here.

Ethiopia is the fastest-growing economy in Africa. According to the reports, the rate of growth here is above 10% which is higher than any of the values from the past. A very positive growth in agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure development and investment can be seen in Ethiopia. The investment is also expanding to the middle class, perhaps a sign of a growing economy.
 
Kenya is seen as a country where tremendous growth has been noticed in technology and finance and agriculture. The significant development in Kenya has made it a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Rwanda has also achieved significant growth despite the genocide in 1994. The country has led economic reforms and implementation of governance which is quite developed and working for the welfare of the people. Rwanda has also focused on tourism, infrastructure and IT concerning the country’s overall development.

There is also a significant development in Senegal. This country has mainly focused on economic diversification along with infrastructure development. The growth in tourism, agriculture and energy in Senegal in Africa has attracted foreign direct investment, which is a very necessary factor for a country’s growth.

In conclusion, we can say that although these countries have made significant growth over time but there are some issues like income inequality, unemployment and the gaps of infrastructure which has to be addressed. Due to COVID-19 which had a tremendous impact on some African countries, where the government with other international bodies must ensure sustainable growth strategies for the welfare of people and the growth of the countries.
