Financement du développement Afrique |
| Résumé : |
To effectively raise finance for development, however, African governments will need to create conditions for inclusive economic growth and at the same time improve tax policy and public financial management systems.
(...) international efforts to combat illicit financial flows can help Africa to raise the resources needed to finance its development. Ultimately though, such reforms will accomplish little without political stability and inclusion, government accountability and transparency, social protection, and the availability of key infrastructure and public services.(...)
Key Messages
One of the reasons for the failure of the Millennium Development Goals and past international Financing for Development conferences was the absence of a strong growth agenda. In order to raise the necessary finance for the implementation of Africa’s development agenda, including the sustainable development goals, African countries will need to concentrate on boosting economic growth and reducing income inequality.
African governments need to take a developmental approach to domestic resource mobilisation that focuses on improved tax administration, the provision of critical public services and support for private-sector productivity.
A concerted international effort to combat illicit financial flows is extremely important for assisting African countries to mobilise financial capital for development. Curbing illicit financial flows requires more domestic capacity for fighting corruption as well as better international cooperation on tax and money-laundering issues. |
