This second report in the series looks at some lessons that Africa could learn from the South Korean experience. It questions the tendency for many to conclude that South Korea represents an unattainable level of success, something to which Africa could never aspire. The author argues that South Korea began from a very low base only four decades ago, with a per capita income that was below almost every African country in 1961. He goes on to say that it is not important to copy the details of any particular success story, but rather there is a need to digest the broad features and the spirit of what was achieved.
