INTERESTING COMMENTS RE INVESTMENT
World investment report: transnational corporations, extractive industries and development
Produced by: World Investment Report, UNCTAD

Foreign direct investment represents the largest share of external capital flows to developing countries and can be a significant force for development. In 2006, developing countries attracted $380 billion in foreign direct investment - more than ever before. While two thirds of these flows went to rapidly growing markets in Asia, virtually all developing regions participated in the increase. Investments rose particularly fast in many countries that are richly endowed with natural resources.
This extensive report (323 pages) highlights that recent years have seen a revival of foreign direct investment in extractive industries, reflecting higher commodity prices.
This commodity boom, partly fuelled by rising Asian demand for various natural resources, should open a window of opportunity for mineral-rich countries to accelerate their development.

The report focuses on the role of transnational corporations in extractive industries, and documents their presence in many of the world's poorest economies.
Divided into six main chapters the authors look at:

     * global trends: sustained growth in forest direct investment flows
     * regional trends
     * features of the extractive industries
     * transnational corporations in extractive industries
     * development implications for host countries
     * policy challenges.

HOW THEN CAN I SUPPORT AFRICA?

Through a PPP (Process of Positive Participation)

All of Africa must take hands and become united in her efforts to implement this important
AFRICAN RENEWAL PROGRAMME!
Africa will succeed!

Lets create an investment climate through positive participation - Lets initiate and implement business projects, no matter how insignificant, that would lead to ‘job creation’ (employment opportunities) that would therefore ultimately stimulate our Africa economy - that would lead to prosperity.

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA
provides this 'platform' to allow the "you and I" to participate in this development process and to allow the world to showcase products and/or services that will add value to (Africa's) sustainable development!

We prefer the phrase "Lets create wealth" as it 'rings' a more positive message than the "Lets alleviate poverty" approach!
