Abstract
The nearly 750 million people who live
in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are among the world's
poorest. To foster the economic growth required to create
jobs, raise living standards, and hasten development, SSA
nations need to attract more foreign capital, which, by
enhancing imported technology and the transfer of know-how,
has proved instrumental in raising productivity in many countries.
