Africa continues to lag behind the rest of the world in terms of poverty. Parallel to the post-2015 development agenda, the African Union launched its Agenda 2063 in 2013 as a call for action to all segments of African society to work together to build a prosperous and united Africa. However, evidence suggests that most countries in Africa may not be able to meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. One of the ingredients to serve as a big push for Africa is financial resources. Access to finance has the potency to lift people out of poverty and also make them resilient. While attempts have been made to make finance available, most government interventions do not seem to have worked. This edition of EDM focuses on Africa given that the continent continues to struggle towards achieving inclusive finance for reducing poverty.
