Investment productivity in Africa increased significantly in 21st century, new UNCTAD report shows
News Source : Investment productivity in Africa increased significantly in 21st century, new UNCTAD report shows
The contents of this press release and the related Report must not be quoted or summarized in the print, broadcast or electronic media before 03 July 2014, 19:00
Geneva, Switzerland, (03 July 2014)
Africa saw an increase in the productivity of investment in the first decade of the twenty-first century compared to the 1990s, UNCTAD says in the Economic Development in Africa Report 20141, although this fact has been disguised in the general story of Africa's recent economic growth.
Geneva, Switzerland, (03 July 2014)
Africa saw an increase in the productivity of investment in the first decade of the twenty-first century compared to the 1990s, UNCTAD says in the Economic Development in Africa Report 20141, although this fact has been disguised in the general story of Africa's recent economic growth.
Subtitled Catalysing Investment for Transformative Growth in Africa, the report shows that from 1990 to 1999 the incremental capital–output ratio – which measures the degree of inefficiency in the use of capital – was about 7.4 in Africa, while from 2000 to 2011 (the latest date for which figures are available) it fell to 4.1 (figure 1).
This means that producing an additional unit of output in Africa required $4.1 in 2000–2011 compared to $7.4 of capital in 1990–1999 – a reduction of almost half.
Factors that have contributed to productivity increases in Africa over the past decade include improvements in infrastructure, relatively better access to technology and policy reforms that reduced the transaction costs linked to production, trade and investment.
Increases in the productivity of capital in Africa are important because they are an important source of growth, as well as being a major determinant of competitiveness. Such increases enhance Africa's ability to compete and integrate into the global economy.
Compared to other developing-country groups, from 2000 to 2011, the productivity of capital was much higher in Africa than in America and slightly higher than in Asia. This is a big change from the 1990s when the productivity of capital was lower in Africa than in the other developing-country groups.
African countries that have made significant progress in enhancing the productivity of capital in the last two decades include Angola, the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Sao Tome and Principe and Zambia.
In the last decade (2000 to 2011), countries where capital had very high productivity included Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Liberia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and the Sudan.
Despite this encouraging trend, it should be noted that there were 22 countries in the continent for which the productivity of investment either did not change or declined between the periods of 1990–1999 and 2000–2011. In addition, the increase in productivity of total investment masks the fact that the productivity of public investment is low in sub-Saharan Africa.
Private investment is important but should not be promoted at the expense of public investment, the report warns. There are important complementarities between public and private investment, the report highlights, calling for increased public investment in Africa. Public investment can crowd in private investment and increase the returns to private capital.
Despite the crucial and catalytic role of public investment in the development process, the report argues, there has been a decline in public investment rates in at least 23 countries over the past two decades, with the most dramatic declines observed in the following countries: Cape Verde (from 18.1 per cent to 13 per cent); Egypt (from 14.5 per cent to 8.2 per cent); Eritrea (from 17.6 per cent to 13.4 per cent); and Lesotho (from 18.2 per cent to 9.1 per cent). Aggregated figures for Africa are shown in figure 2.
African Governments can stimulate public investment, strengthen linkages between public and private capital and also ensure coherence in their overall investment promotion policies, the report argues. For example, foreign direct investment should not be promoted at the expense of local investment.
African governments offer generous incentives to foreign investors that put local investors at a disadvantage and go against efforts to promote domestic entrepreneurship and investment. The report argues for the need for coherence between policies promoting foreign direct investment and those aimed at developing local entrepreneurship.
The report argues that more can be done to increase the impact of investment on growth in Africa.
The productivity of private investment can be enhanced and sustained by developing workforce skills, providing better infrastructure, improving access to affordable credit and reducing the high costs of factor inputs, the report says.
Meanwhile, the report adds, the productivity of public investment, particularly in infrastructure, can be enhanced through the better selection and delivery of projects, getting more value out of existing infrastructure through maintenance of assets and refocusing public investment in areas such as energy and transport.
The report argues that investment is one of the main drivers of long-term growth on the continent but that investment rates are low relative to what is required to achieve national development goals.
Over the past two decades, the average investment rate in Africa has hovered at around 18 per cent, which is well below the 25 per cent threshold deemed necessary to make significant progress in reducing poverty. The report points out that low investment rates in Africa account in part for the region's slow progress in realizing its development goals over the past decade.
While the report stresses the need to boost investment rates, it also argues that Governments in Africa should strengthen efforts to improve the productivity of existing and new investments and also ensure that investment goes into strategic and priority sectors that are crucial for sustained growth and the transformation of African economies (such as agribusiness and manufacturing activities).

NORMAN — They came before the sun rose — the huddled masses of red hats and gloves. Their cheers rumbled through the South Oval as ESPN's College GameDay broadcasted hours before the kickoff of No. 5 Notre Dame vs. No. 8 Oklahoma.
Oklahoma football: Sooners faithful fill campus for ESPN GameDay broadcast
Grown men lifted other grown men on their shoulders — just so their sign would stick a bit higher in the air than all the rest and be visible on the broadcast.
There was Ronald Reagan in an OU shirt. There was the word 'Irish' in a grave yard. There was Sooner Magic.
Several thousand OU fans descended upon the lawn just south of the Bizzell Memorial Library on the OU campus.
Standing therein the middle of the crowd was Nathan Shields in a blue hat and a blue jersey, peering over the sea of red to find his son, the son that parted from the gold and blue when he was three to become a fan of the cream and crimson.
Eric Shields is 8-years old. He was raised in a Notre Dame-themed room. He was raised to love the Irish, but he went to so many OU games and was bought so much Sooners gear that, to his father's dismay, he began to shout Boomer.
Nathan took Eric to a majority of his Oklahoma games, so he's not surprised but standing behind the set of GameDay on Saturday, the father stood below a sign that said "A Family Divided" with a metal ND and OU split by a line.
Nathan's trying to repair the line with his second son, but Eric's trying to get his two-year-old little brother Cal to say "Boomer Sooner."
'Nuh uh,' Cal has said. 'Go Irish.'
"Those were pretty much Cal's first words," Nathan said.
When they recently built their new house in Stroud, Nathan wanted to put a line on the wall between his two sons' bedrooms and color their respective sides in their team colors.
"My wife said, 'No,'" Nathan said. "So the metal logos on the sign are off their bedroom doors."
Maggie McKee-Huey and Nick Laris started to pump their arms up and down as the sky cam zipped across a line.

Mission impossible!
... Sistine, and there was just so much to see everywhere else. It was complete overload! After our return Metro ride, we ate an exquisite salad at the Snack Bar Gastronomic, near our hotel, and then rested. According to our pedometer-wearing tour mates, we had walked 7.7 miles yesterday, and today was not inconsequential! We later walked, found a market to browse, had a light supper at an outdoor cafe, and when we got back, took the elevator to the hotel--which, while sparing ...

... us transportation and museum/ monument entrance). We then headed to the Vatican museum and saw Sistine chapel (let down after basilica).
After that we traveled back to trevi fountain area and found an AMAZING dinner spot called That's Amore. Had big glasses of house red wine , an appetizer that consisted of their baked pizza dough with prosciutto mozzarella and chicory, then had a salad, bread, and for the main dish an eggplant dish ...

... of cats is situated right next to a square of various Temple ruins. Here is where the signs and maps failed us in all ways, so some Google mapping was had and got us there. Without it, we'd have ended up in Milan...on foot.
The Pantheon has been through a few changes since its origin, yet continues its purpose as a centre of worship – it's the nature of that which is now different, as above. The large facade with a few lines of credits is pretty ...

... above the window showing Apollo and the Muses again. They were wonderful of course, but I was charmed and delighted to see blind Homer, flanked by Dante and Vergil. Fantastic!!! I'm skipping so much, but we walked through the contemporary art galleries to get to the main event - The Sistine Chapel. It's so beautiful, but will I seem uncultured if I admit that I wasn't as blown away by it as I though I would be? I know I've seen a ...
Three days left!
... After our tour ended, we decided it was just to hot to do anything but have a sit-down lunch, then head back to the hotel for a bit, after, we had a look at the Forum. The Roman Forum was like a mix between the Parliament building, and Cuba street. So basically it was where people from different parts of Rome met up to party, or discuss politics. After wandering through the Forum (and taking another toilet break cough Becky cough!) we went to a nice ...

To read more about Trinidadian cuisine, click here.
These turnovers are the Trinidadian version of the fruit-filled tarts traditional in European baking. They make an ideal snack or dessert. Dress them up for guests with a dollop of whipped cream and dash of cinnamon.
YIELD: Makes 15 individual tarts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2/3 cup cold water
- 2 1/4 cups grated fresh coconut (about 1 medium coconut)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon mixed essence (see Tip, below)
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons milk
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl of food processor. Add the butter and shortening, and pulse until crumbs the size of peas form. Slowly add 1 cup cold water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
In the meantime, combine the coconut, sugar, mixed essence, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan, and simmer the mixture until the sugar melts and liquid thickens to the consistency of maple syrup, about 30 minutes. Cool.
To make the tarts: Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Dust the chilled dough with flour and divide into 15 balls. Flatten the balls and then roll out to 1/8 inch thick, dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
Place 1 tablespoon of filling on the center of a disk. Lightly brush the edges of the disk with water and fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon. Crimp the edges closed, using a fork. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Beat the egg yolk and milk together, and brush over the tarts. Prick each tart once or twice so that steam can escape. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown. Cool and serve.
Ramin Ganeshram shares a tip with Epicurious: · Originally a flavoring made from the oil of nutty, vanilla-scented tonka beans, mixed essence is today a combination of extracts used in almost all Trinidadian baked goods. It's available in West Indian markets or can be made at home by mixing 1/2 cup pure vanilla extract, 1/4 cup each almond and pear extracts, 2 teaspoons dark rum, and 2 drops orange flower water. Store in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dark place.

This is so yummy! The kiafa give it a nice darker flavor than a regular strawberry milk shake, it makes me want to try this with cherry vanilla icecream! I used HaggenDaz vanilla with about a half cup of frozen strawberries and half a cup of milk and about 1 1/2 oz of Kiafa; the strawberry jam really gave it a nice boost of flavor and because I added the unsweetened strawberries to the ice cream, this was lightly sweet - not cloying like shakes can be. Thanks Rita for a delicious treat. Made for Zaar Stars tag.
Delicious yes! I used Nestle strawberry shortcake ice cream which is vanilla ice cream with strawberry ribbons throughout like strawberry jam. I added 2 large fresh strawberries as well and used the lesser amount of rice milk! (It was still pretty thin.) On top I added whipped cream from a spray can. No alcohol added in ours. A make again.
I served this to my family for our Valentines Dinner. I served it in our "plastic" wine glasses and the kids loved it. I really liked the addition of the strawberry jam in this, it gives it that extra burst of flavor. Thank you for sharing this with us.

PCE groundwater concentrations were approximately 120 micrograms per liter (μg/L).Historical groundwater monitoring data indicated volatile organic concentrations (VOC) concentrations were in equilibrium throughout the plume, with little evidence of the degradation of PCE. Baseline
biogeochemical sampling was performed, and the results indicated the environment in each area was aerobic to transitional. A review of the electron acceptor and donor analytical data indicated the rate of attenuation was also limited due to a lack of organic carbon (electron donor/substrate).A
pilot test was initiated that consisted of an injection well and two downgradient monitoring wells. A reagent of molasses and water was injected on either a weekly or bi-weekly interval. The results of the pilot tests indicate anaerobic and reducing conditions were established and organic
carbon concentrations increased in and downgradient of the injection wells. The increased amount of organic carbon coupled with the anaerobic and reducing conditions promoted the reductive dechlorination of PCE to lesser chlorinated compounds (TCE, DCE, VC, and ethene). The increased rate
of attenuation decreased the ratio of PCE to daughter products, and reduced overall VOC mass within the pilot test areas. The results of the 15-month long pilot test were used to implement a full-scale in-situ treatment system for the site.",

One of China's most influential military strategists has made headlines by saying that a new, lethal strain of bird flu is a "U.S. bio-psychological weapon" conspiracy designed to harm China.
Senior Col. Dai Xu, an air force officer in the People's Liberation Army, has written several best-sellers, mostly on U.S. military strategy toward China, and enjoys a national following. He is a prominent voice inside China on military strategy and national security.
Though many in the West view him as an aberration, Col. Dai is a core member of China's strategic community and his views are backed by a huge following in Chinese military circles.
In accusing the U.S. of "bio-psychological" warfare in the outbreak of the H7N9 bird flu virus in the Shanghai area, Col. Dai offered no evidence to support his scurrilous claims.
But he is not on the fringe of China's mainstream strategic culture: He is a professor at the Chinese National Defense University, the ultimate symbol of China's military establishment. He also directs China's Research Institute of Maritime Security and Cooperation, based in Beijing.
His extremist views about the U.S. are encouraged by China's tightly controlled mainstream media. The official Communist Party Central Committee's mouthpiece, the People's Daily, hosts a special online column for him, as does Global Times, a subsidiary focusing on military and security issues that is packaged for readers in a more popular format.
In addition, Col. Dai frequently appears on national television to rail against what he regards as a multitude of American conspiracies against China.
Col. Dai and his views have an enormous popular following.
In 2010, more than 300,000 Internet users in China voted Col. Dai one of China's nine most popular online opinion-makers. In the same year, the xenophobic anti-American Global Times newspaper ranked him as one of "China's 10 most Outspoken Virtuous Men."
In December 2011, tens of millions Internet users on China's second-most popular Internet portal, Tencent, endorsed the 2010 online voting result and confirmed Col. Dai as one of China's nine most influential "public intellectuals."
Col. Dai himself has a Twitter-like Weibo account that has more than 250,000 followers, giving him the aura of being part of mainstream China's public space on security and defense issues.
His influence also reflects the potency of his message. Analysts say that what makes Col. Dai so influential is his deep, unshakable loathing of the U.S. and his sensational claims of various American conspiracies, grand or petty, against the virtuous and rising China.
To millions of Chinese, Col. Dai is synonymous with the exposure of America's anti-China conspiracies, and he holds a unique place as China's most paranoid conspiracist.
Examples of alleged U.S. conspiracies he supposedly has discovered were revealed in a 2 -hour speech in 2009 called "2030: China Faces the Fate of Dismemberment: The U.S. Strategy for a Global Empire and China's Crisis."
The closed-door speech later appeared on the Internet after it was given to military officers during a meeting at the Nanjing-based PLA Institute of International Relations Studies, a key training ground for elite officers. The conspiracies he outlined include that the United States:

– Staring down a three-game sweep at the hands of its fiercest rival, No. 10 Duke was tough enough to fight its way through to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship game.
Tricia Liston
scored 17 points and
Ka'lia Johnson
hit the go-ahead free throws with 44.1 seconds left to help the Blue Devils rally late to beat No. 13 North Carolina 66-61 in Saturday's semifinals.
Johnson's two free throws broke a 60-all tie for the second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5), who played with veteran poise late to hold off freshman star Diamond DeShields and the sixth-seeded Tar Heels (24-9).
Now, despite being down four point guards from the start of the season - including former league player of the year
Chelsea Gray
- the Blue Devils are within a win of their ninth ACC title.
"We've gone through a lot as a team and it hasn't really, I don't think, worn us down emotionally," senior
Haley Peters
said. "It's just made us really become a closer team and really, we just want to be as good as we can be. ... We've been energized by it, I think."
Duke, which used just eight players, faces No. 2 Notre Dame in Sunday's final. The unbeaten Fighting Irish beat the Blue Devils by a combined 32 points in the regular-season meetings.
"It's a great opportunity for us, a really great opportunity for us because they're very, very good," Duke coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said. "They're definitely picked to beat us, obviously. They're ahead of us, they have been all year. And that's just the way it is."
At the end, it was lesser-known players like Johnson and
Oderah Chidom
stepping up to the foul line to cap Duke's comeback and put away the Tar Heels. Johnson was shooting 67.6 percent from the line and Chidom 55.1, but they made six straight free throws in the final minute.
DeShields scored 25 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead the Tar Heels, with four of those coming after halftime. But she missed a 3 for the tie with about 10 seconds left after Chidom hit two free throws to make it 64-61.
"I thought it was going in," DeShields said. "I wanted it. I wanted the ball. Actually, I knew it was going in. It came in and came out."
DeShields also committed a technical foul for taunting Peters after hitting a jaw-dropping step-back 3 with 8:08 left, one of a series of small mistakes that proved costly when Duke pushed ahead late.
UNC made just 2 of 7 free throws in the final 6:14, including reserve N'Dea Bryant making 1 of 2 after being fouled on a jumper after Johnson's go-ahead free throws. The Tar Heels also somehow managed to have the wrong people taking shots at key moments, with Latifah Coleman missing a driving basket as the shot clock wound down in a tie game and Bryant being bailed out on her quick jumper by drawing
Elizabeth Williams
' fifth foul.
"We made some mistakes down in the end we'd like to be able to replay," UNC associate head coach Andrew Calder said. "But you don't get to do that, so we'll learn from that and we'll drive on."
The Tar Heels won the first meeting in Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium 89-78, their first win in the building since 2008. DeShields went for 30 points in that game, then went for 18 in last weekend's 64-60 home win to close the regular season.
North Carolina was poised to add another win against Duke, with DeShields knocking down three 3s and fellow freshman Allisha Gray one of her own to break a 31-all halftime tie and give UNC a 43-35 lead with 16:42 left.
But Duke slowly climbed back in it. Liston made just two shots after halftime, but the second was a huge 3-pointer at the 2:02 mark to cut the Tar Heels' lead to 59-58. Then Williams scored on a stickback to tie the game at 60 with 1:18 left.
Williams finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, including a big one on Stephanie Mavunga's stickback attempt on Coleman's missed drive. Mavunga fouled Johnson on the scramble for the rebound to set up the go-ahead free throws.
Chidom hit the final two free throws with 9.2 seconds left after DeShields' last miss to seal Duke's trip to the final.

Well it was my first time to the POSH lounge and I was very very dissappointed. Honestly I was so excited about going to my friends 21st Birthday there, but there was a mistake made by the staff. \r
They promised a price amount for alcohol and lounge space. When we got there they changed the price last minute. After talking to management about there mistake they made it look like we were the ones lying about it.... view more

The 2013 BET Awards aired Sunday night and it was one of THE best BET award shows that I have seen in a very long time. But with that being said, it was sad day for stylists….or so it seemed if you were on Twitter or Instagram during the pre-show and beyond. Red Carpet events are a great opportunity for stylists to really showcase their skills but it seems that many either dropped the ball or let their clients pick out whatever they wanted to wear. I am not dissing anyone, I am just stating what everyone else was tweeting and or tweegraming about Sunday night. In my opinion, the need to be different or take fashion risks is starting to outweigh looking decent and appropriate. I think that a lot of folks that attended the awards this Sunday, didn't take it as serious as they would take the Grammy's or the American Music Awards. Men should be in formal separates (for example: Bow Wow) or in a suit or tux. And I don't want to hear about how hot it was in L.A. cause plenty men had on leather and/or faux leather out there from head to toe. Women have more options. They have the choice of dressy separates, gowns, dresses with appropriate hem lines as well as suits or tuxedos. I have so much more I can say but I know it will turn into a bash fest and that's not what I do here. So I will just share with you the looks that I loved. Chic!

Is the guy that Katy Perry briefly dated after her breakup with Russell Brand but before her hookup with John Mayer back in the picture? The London Sun says the popster spent quality time with Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd during her recent tour stop in London.
The two, who were first spotted enjoying PDA aplenty at the Coachella Music Festival in April 2012, supposedly rekindled their flirtation at a party last weekend after her show at the O2 Arena.
"Katy and Rob seemed to be very much back together at her party on Saturday night," relays a source. "They were inseparable, kissing, flirting and cuddling away in front of the roadies, celebs and friends at the bash. There were a fair few famous faces in the room, but Katy and Rob only had eyes for each other."
Or maybe not.
"There's nothing going on between them… no kissing," a Katy insider assures Gossip Cop. "They're just friends."
Perry, 29, called time on her on-off, two-year romance with Mayer in February, and she soon segued into a short entanglement with DJ Diplo.
'I know it sounds really hippie-s--t," she says in the July issue of Cosmo, "but I'm living in the now and not fantasizing about the future or [being] torn up about the past."

Dialog Semiconductor and Synopsys Present: New DFTMAX Ultra for Squeezing Out More Test Compression with Fewer Pins
The demand for pin-limited compression is being driven by tighter form factors, the design of multicore SoCs that require few pins per core for test access, and the adoption of multisite testing as a technique to reduce test application time and cost. In this webinar, we will highlight how Synopsys' new DFTMAX Ultra is designed from the ground up to achieve high compression using fewer digital scan pins and a minimum of one pair of scan pins. Our guest speaker will then discuss how DFTMAX Ultra is being successfully deployed to lower the cost of testing mixed-signal designs at Dialog Semiconductor.
