Answer to Question 1

The number of significant conflicts was cut in half between the 1990s and 2000s. Governance is improving as corruption is being tackled. The so-called cheetah generation of new African leaders is more energetic and creative in business and in policy making than the retiring generation of post-colonial leaders. The peace dividend and improved governance is an attractive mix of factors that has led to a surge in foreign direct investment (FDI).
