Résumé

Le développement économique et social des pays africains n’a pas progressé au même rythme que dans d’autres régions du monde. Cela malgré le fait que les pays africains ont mis en oeuvre des politiques de libéralisation du commerce et des modèles de réduction de l’intervention de l’État qui ont favorisé le développement d’autres pays, notamment en Europe. Ce travail suggère que les acteurs souhaitant contribuer au développement des pays africains devraient accorder moins d’importance aux solutions de politique économique et se concentrer davantage sur des stratégies permettant aux pays africains d’acquérir à la fois l’autonomie et la capacité d’action nécessaires pour construire des institutions solides (éducatives, infrastructurelles, entre autres). Cela est essentiel, car les stratégies actuelles de développement en Afrique traitent le continent comme un ensemble homogène. Le développement africain touche pourtant différents pays avec des contextes locaux variés. En reconnaissance de cette réalité, les politiques de développement devraient mettre l’accent sur le renforcement de l’autonomie, de la capacité d’action locale et des institutions. Les pays africains doivent développer des institutions solides ancrées dans leurs contextes locaux afin de mettre en oeuvre avec succès des politiques de développement qui favoriseront leur croissance économique et sociale.
