I am delighted to present this issue of African Journal of Business and Economic Research (AJBER). This is the first issue of AJBER under a new Editor and Editorial Review Board. AJBER intends to maintain its current image as one of the leading academic journals in Africa. The Editorial Board is committed to taking the journal to a new level by building AJBER into an internationally ranked journal that rivals its peers in other parts of world. To achieve this goal, two important changes have been made. First, the journal’s masthead will show a new Editorial Board structure led by the Editor-in-Chief. The second set of changes relates to the Editorial Board. The Editorial Review Board team has been expanded to include internationally renowned scholars and management practitioners. The third set of changes relates to the publication of special issues. We will publish special issues edited or co-edited by leading scholars and practitioners in the field. The seven articles in............

We have argued earlier in this journal that private enterprise-driven economic growth provides a realistic promise for absolute poverty reduction in Africa through lowering the levels of real unemployment and strengthening individuals’ capacity to care for themselves and their families. Furthermore, businesses tend to generate revenues necessary for anti-poverty policies of governments. The challenge is how to design policies and strategies that induce pro-poor growth without de-motivating the more industrious segments of an African country and without dependence on donor assistance. This understanding has stimulated a renewed academic interest in the role of African governments in the development of the private sectors of their economies. During the last two decades most African nations have embraced economic liberalization as an effective policy instrument for stimulating private enterprise development. Liberalization is generally associated with the removal of all forms of go............

Challenges of Enterprise-Driven Economic Growth in Africa     John Kuada   There is a growing concern within the development research and policy communities today about the persistent sluggish economic growth in most African countries despite the general upturn in the world economy during the last two decades and the general reduction of poverty in most developing countries. The search for explanations for Africa’s poverty has stretched from considerations such as corruption, poor governance and institutional problems (Killick et al., 2001), to the limited attention to private enterprise development (Fafchamps et al., 2001). The African Union has recently estimated that corruption costs Africa 148 billion US dollars per year, thereby increasing the costs of business transactions in Africa by up to 20 per cent.  Similarly the World Bank estimates that corruption impedes growth rates by 0.5 per cent per year. There is also the problem of weak supply side of............

Editorial Comment Some New Economic and Social Challenges in Africa John Kuada Editor, AJBER Contact email: kuada@business.aau.dk Africa has been characterized as the world\'s poorest continent - a continent plagued with diseases, conflicts, corruption, weak governance and debt. More than that, it is the continent worst hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic - a disease that has contributed substantially to the erosion of the already limited wealth of several African nations. Understandably, the sheer scale of the problems creates a socialized hopelessness through out the continent, thereby producing a spiral of negative energy channeled into internal strife of different degrees of magnitude in different parts of the continent. Some economic commentators have observed that most African nations need to grow at an annual rate above 7 percent annually for several decades to reverse the downward poverty spiral. The papers included in this issue of AJBER focus attention on some of theses probl............
