Is Africa still rising? Yes! Uhuru tells World Economic Forum

He said given the threats, there was urgent need to meet the challenges together to protect the success of the continent.

“Our work is to accelerate Africa’s rise and keep her in the skies. That means investing in the diversification of Africa’s economies, so that they are less affected by shocks in international commodity, oil and mineral prices – which is one of the reasons some stronger countries have experienced slower economic growth.”

He called for persistent efforts to industrialise, trade together, improve infrastructure, invest in energy and improve the business environment on the continent.

“We must keep our eyes on the bigger picture, and invest for the long haul. Because there can be no doubt that there are opportunities in Africa. There can be no doubt that there remain possibilities for profit.”
