Poor governance remains one of Africa’s biggest challenges. In this regard, accelerating the continent’s progress from the current state requires a rethink of development and governance issues. As part of the Institute of Economic Affairs’ (IEA) mission to promote good governance in Ghana and across the African region, the IEA in collaboration with the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) hosted a roundtable discussion on the theme: ‘Governance and Development in Africa’ with Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, former Prime-Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007).
