The Major Bottlenecks Facing Africa today. This is a report with lofty ambitions: it asks difficult questions, attempts 
to answer those questions and proposes ways forward. 
The issues that are dealt with are very well-known to all of us; they are bottlenecks to Africa; they are bottlenecks to our individual and communal lives; they hold us back; they choke our daily lives and stifle our prospects; they need addressing. Who would need to be told that such issues as underdeveloped infrastructure or agriculture, poor service delivery capacity or lack of industrialisation, lack of access to opportunities or conflict and the violation of human rights are bottlenecks holding Africa back? We all live with them every day.
