The "African Development Report 2001", is the 13th annual survey of economic and social progress in Africa. Published for the fifth consecutive year by OUP, the report provides comprehensive analysis of the state of the African economy, examining development policy issues affecting the economic prospects of the continent. The report's theme this year - fostering good governance in Africa - reflects a growing acceptance of the value of both participatory democracy as well as good economic and corporate governance in accelerating growth and reducing poverty. The report addresses a range of key issues relating to this theme, including: popular participation in public policy decision making either directly or through legitimate intermediate institutions that represent the interests of citizens ? Rule of law, which refers to the existence of a legal framework with clear laws that are fair and enforced impartially through an independent judiciary.
