Before the global financial and economic crisis, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) grew by an average of over five percent per annum, a major turn around from the lost decades of the 1980s and 1990s. Even during the crisis, the sub-continent grew by 3% in 2009, trailing only East Asia as the second fastest growing region in the world. These achievements notwithstanding, SSA still faces major development challenges. It is now clear that the majority of the countries in the region will not achieve key millennium development goals. aCapital Flight uhttp://iffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/Capital Flight from Sub Saharan African Countries Updated Estimates 1970-2010.pdf  cCF c233d233
