Addis Ababa - 26-29 October 2011
Loïc Sadoulet, INSEAD Professor of Economics, attended the African Leadership Network Gathering in Ethiopia. It is a very inspiring network of upcoming African leaders, who call themselves “The 3rd Generation”. The first generation (Selassie, Nkrumah, etc.) was about independence, the second generation (Kagame, Obasanjo,etc.) was about stability, the third generation is about bringing African prosperity.
"If there is one legacy that the new generation of leaders can leave for Africa, it is a legacy of African prosperity. We need to create wealth on the continent so that we can fund our own healthcare, infrastructure, education, etc. Only with our own resources can Africans finally stand on their own feet"
