Macro and micro evidence confirms the importance of brokering a fertility decline, and poor initial conditions further hold poverty reduction back. In addition to the widely documented lack of human capital and infrastructure—which further conspire to limit the poor’s “mental bandwidth” and their capacity to aspire—Africa faces several other structural impediments, including (1) natural resource dependence; (2) gender inequality; and (3) social redistributive pressures, which discourage people from investing in their income activities. Accelerating the fertility transition, leveraging the food and urban system, addressing fragility, and mobilizing financing for the poor emerge as overarching entry points to accelerate Africa’s poverty reduction in the near future. This strategy remains predicated on maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment, however. ReferencesACET (African Center for Economic Transformation). 2017.
