“This book is about accelerating Africa’s integration through the application of the growth triangle concept. Filled with rich experiences backed by research, this book is also a powerful account of how African countries’ border areas---many of which largely marginalized and clash points of conflicts---can be transformed into vibrant socio-economic security zones through local-regional development efforts. This book equally creates a necessary kind of working environment where micro-regionalism is given a significant role to play in addressing some of the protracted challenges associated with our continent’s “larger” groupings. A valuable piece of work and absolutely required reading for all of us (politicians, academics private sector, development practitioners, NGOS)”
