On the other hand a continent still plagued by high poverty, wide inequalities, poor human capital and inadequate infrastructure. Can one reconsile seemingly contradictory narratives in order to answer the question who benefits from Africa's economic growth? The last ten years has benefited well connected elites as well people who have escaped absolute poverty, been able to send one more child to school or buy better protection against malaria. A bigger pie has has some trickle-down effects. But a legacy of many decades with low growth is difficult to overcome. Igniting growth is easier than sustaining it.

Then, at best contonued high growth rates will benefit larger segments of the continent's population.
