I make a point of having a look at the Africa Pulse report because it is packed full of useful analysis and comment on some of the key factors shaping growth and development outcomes for this heterogeneous continent.

Some African countries continue to do well - among them Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Tanzania - whereas others are hamstrung by institutional weaknesses, a lack of economic diversity and structural gaps in competitiveness.
