FIGHTING POVERTY THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN AFRICA
A panel discussion with development scholars and African entrepreneurs
RSVP at: http://
Co-sponsored by New York University Africa House
DATE: Tuesday, April 24, 2007
TIME: 5:30 PM
LOCATION: 5-50 Kaufmann Management Center
44 West 4th St., New York, NY, 10012
A cocktail reception will follow the discussion.
Introductory Remarks:
- William Easterly, Professor of Economics, New York University, and author of The Elusive Quest for Growth and The White Man's Burden.
- Jeffrey Robinson, Assistant Professor, Stern School of Business, New York University, and author of Social Entrepreneurship and International Perspectives in Social Entrepreneurship (forthcoming).
Panelists:
- Peter Boettke, Professor of Economics, George Mason University, and Director of Research, Mercatus Center
- Karol Boudreaux, Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center, and member of the Working Group on Property Rights at the United Nations Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor
- John Kasaona, Assistant Director, Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation, Namibia
- Charles Matlou, Smallholder Team Member, Monsanto South Africa
- Temba Nolutshungu, Director, Free Market Foundation of Southern Africa
While most regions of the world witness increased living standards and greater economic opportunity, Africans continue to face famine, poverty, and political corruption. Billions of foreign aid dollars spent by western governments have made little difference to the lives of ordinary Africans. Yet while western elites hold conferences on how best to redistribute wealth, unsung African innovators are quietly erasing the effects of
poverty at the local level. This fresh perspective-that solutions to Africa's poverty are not to be found in international aid bureaucracies but in Africa's entrepreneurs-is the focus of Enterprise Africa!, a project which uncovers examples of successful entrepreneurship in Africa and shares them with policy makers and opinion leaders world-wide.
This panel presentation, sponsored by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and New York University's Africa House and hosted by the Stern School of Business, kicks off a week of Enterprise Africa! events in New York and Washington, DC. Drawing on two years of field research with African entrepreneurs, the panel will discuss specific
and innovative ways that Africans are developing their own solutions to the problems of poverty, corruption, conflict resolution, and environmental degradation. Participants will learn about what is working in African development and gain an understanding of the obstacles Africa's entrepreneurs must overcome to achieve long-term growth in their communities.
This event is free and open to the public. In accordance with New York University security requirements, all attendees must bring a valid photo ID.
