Africa Progress Report
Africa Progress Panel members Kofi Annan, Peter Eigen, Linah Mohohlo and Olusegun Obasanjo launched the Africa Progress Report 2010 on 25 May 2010 in Johannesburg. The landmark publication analyses the continent’s progress and issues key recommendations to African leaders and its international partners. The report was launched in coordination with the launch of ONE's 2010 DATA Report

Africa Progress Report calls on African leaders to turn “scramble for Africa” into real results for the continent; progress being made despite not because of governance

Panel wants action from policymakers to translate continent’s “immense resources” into concrete benefits for its people
