Resumen
Descripción
Poverty is higher in most African countries than elsewhere in the developing world. In sub- Saharan Africa (SSA) 50 per cent of the total population or 300 million people live on less than 1 USD per day. Worse, the number of poor people has grown in the 1990s causing SSA’s share of the world’s absolute poor to increase from 25 to 30 per cent. SSA with 11 per cent of the global population, has an estimated 73 per cent of global HIV/AIDS related infections. So far 20 million Africans have died of HIV/AIDS, 10 million children have been orphaned and many families have lost their labour supply as adults have fallen ill or died (World Bank, 2002).
