Drawing on his extensive experience as a foreign correspondent in Africa, Hartcher offers a clear-eyed assessment of the continent's problems, including poverty, inequality, disease, and conflict. He argues that these challenges are not insurmountable, but will require a combination of bold leadership, innovative policies, and sustained international support.

Hartcher begins his book by dispelling the myths and misconceptions that have long plagued the global perception of Africa. He argues that Africa is not a hopeless continent, but rather a continent with enormous potential.

He points to the continent's rich natural resources, its growing population, and its vibrant culture as evidence of its potential. However, he also acknowledges the challenges that Africa faces, including a legacy of colonialism, weak governance, and a lack of infrastructure.

Hartcher argues that the key to unlocking Africa's potential lies in finding African solutions to African problems. He proposes a number of innovative policies that could help to improve the lives of Africans, including:

Investing in education and healthcare
Promoting economic growth through private enterprise
Improving governance and reducing corruption
Strengthening regional cooperation

Hartcher also argues that the international community has a role to play in helping Africa to overcome its challenges. He calls for increased foreign aid, as well as trade and investment, to support Africa's development.

However, Hartcher emphasizes that Africa's future is ultimately up to Africans. He argues that Africans need to take ownership of their own problems and work together to find solutions.

'Solving Africa's Problems' is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of the continent. Hartcher's insights and recommendations are essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the challenges and opportunities facing Africa.

The book is beautifully written and full of vivid anecdotes and insights. Hartcher's passion for Africa is evident on every page, and his solutions are both practical and inspiring.

If you are looking for a book that will change the way you think about Africa, then 'Solving Africa's Problems' is the book for you.
