November 17, 2008
Voice of America cites CGD senior fellow Vijaya Ramachandran's research on power and roads in Africa.
From the article:
"Vijaya Ramachandran is an expert at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C. She notes that a lack of electricity and a lack of good roads are major barriers to a better life in Africa. In most of the African countries that she has studied, power supplies are cut off for several hours during each day."
