AFRICAN governments have to improve their investment climate if wider economic and social progress is to be achieved, the Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Climate Facility for Africa (ICF), Mr Omari Issa, said on Monday at the UN High Level Event on Africa’s Development.

Addressing the government, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private sector representatives from all over the world, Mr Issa argued that Africa must achieve a sustainable economic growth of seven per cent per annum to reach the core MDG of halving the number of people living on less than a dollar a day by 2015
