Solide Kenntnisse über Afrika

Solid Knowledge about Africa is a dossier that focuses on both past and present knowledge of Africa. It presents the facts regarding Africa's socioeconomic development from a historical perspective and highlights the circumstances that may have facilitated or hindered this development. It is a reflection on Africa's distant past, recent history, present, and future. As a document that depicts the continent's tumultuous past, it illustrates the African strategy for gaining self-responsibility and utilizing its own resources for the benefit of the continent. The aim is to create a building block that consolidates written knowledge about Africa's developmental challenges. It shows that the past provides both written and oral knowledge to inform the transformation agenda for the future with filtered developmental insights. The argument that Mother Africa is a backward continent is refuted by facts. The dossier demonstrates that this perception is misplaced. In the Africa divided by the UN, the continent had a significant advantage. It boasted thriving economies, diverse arts, a strong culture, and a state system based on evolving governance systems.
