The Nexus between the Leadership Question and the Poverty Trap in Africa
This paper examines the nexus between leadership question and the increasingly persistent poverty incidence in Africa, taking into consideration the effects of globalization. It argues that the dearth of an authentic knowledge leadership that is infused with patriotism, conscience, knowledge and transformational interest with Africa as centre of its foreign policies has been the bane of socio-economic development in Africa. The paper investigates this submission by examining the issues of how Africa got into the poverty trap, the leadership challenges in relation to globalization and poverty trap. It suggests how the challenges could effect a transformation out of this poverty trap. The development of knowledge leadership, Afro-centric foreign policies, diversification of the economy, industrial entrepreneurship revolution and internal generation of development funds are some of the recommendations out of this poverty trap.

Jens Martens argues for global tax justice and eco-social fiscal reforms in order to reverse the lives of poverty of many millions of people whose living standards would improve noticeably through increased government expenditure on public education and health care, active social policies, and additional state investments in public infrastructure. He calls for more pressure exerted by civil society groups to combat the powerful lobbyists acting on behalf of the wealthy and the transnational corporations.
