Sub-Saharan Africa's economic recovery faces multiple risks

  Since 2017, sub-Saharan Africa has been recovering synchronously with the global economic tide, but this year's recovery in the region has encountered multiple obstacles, and the growth performance and development prospects of various economies have also become polarized.   International agencies lower growth forecast for this year   The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently released the latest issue of "Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa" ​​report, which reduced the economic growth forecast for this region to 3.2% in 2019, which is the same as the growth rate in 2018, which is higher than the IMF's April this year.

Africa's freshman in a century of change

  Cape Coast, Ghana, Gore Island, Senegal, and the slave trade base along the Gulf of Benin have witnessed the history of humiliation and bloody tears brought to Africa by Western colonialism. Colonial invasion and oppression disrupted and delayed the development process of the African continent, and once caused localized and local development to freeze and stagnate.   The wheels of history are moving forward, and Africa keeps chasing. With the world facing unprecedented changes in a century, Africa has ushered in a rare opportunity to achieve stable development, speed up the process of integration and enhance its international status.   In the first decade of the 21st century, six of the ten fastest growing economies in the world were in sub-Saharan Africa. This ancient continent is being reborn.

The payment of volunteers stipends has now changed from the usual month end payment to first week into the next month.
