Africa: UNDP reports development reversal in sub-Saharan Africa

Twenty countries, 13 of them in sub-Saharan Africa, have suffered development reversals since 1990, according to this year's Human Development Report, released last Thursday by the UN Development Programme (UNDP). In 46 countries, 20 of them in sub-Saharan Africa, average citizens are poorer today than they were a decade ago, according to the report. In 25 countries, of which 11 are in sub-Saharan Africa, more people go hungry than they did a decade ago.
