The region growth rate is [expected to](https://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Publications/African_Economic_Outlook_2018_-_EN.pdf) increase from 3.6 percent in 2017 to 4.1 percent in 2018 and 2019. The continent still encounters a lot of problems, and lack of government funding into the countries’ infrastructure is among the major ones. But at the same time, there are plenty of alternative ways to attract investments and accelerate the region growth. #### WRITTEN BY ![None](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Nadia_Mykhalevych.max-376x376.jpg) CONTENT MARKETING MANAGER Nadia Mykhalevych [CONTACT US](/contact-us/) At Seedstars, we believe in the changes brought by bottom-up initiatives and the power of every individual to foster transformation.
