The central theme of the 2010 Forum will be Africa: Success Stories and New partnerships. In 2010, over 15 African countries celebrate their 50th anniversary of independence and the World Cup comes to South Africa. At the same time, several of Africa's most persistent challenges remain to be addressed, including the infrastructure deficit. Countries have been affected by the international financial crisis, but many have weathered the storm better than expected. New Investment is being attracted by oil and gas finds as well as revived interest in the untapped potential of agriculture development.
