Recasting Indo-African Development Cooperation

A dominant regional power like India should be playing a more proactive role in wooing other developing countries, especially in Africa through networks of development cooperation. In recasting its ties with Africa, India needs to be sensitive to ground realities in African nations many of which are transitioning towards democratic forms of governance and actively taking on the challenge of development. Such a network of ties will also contribute to the building of effective coalitions in international fora.
