This volume, edited by Michel A. Dessart and Roland E. Ubogu, records the presentations made and discussions held during the Inaugural Seminar of the Joint Africa Institute (JAI). The JAI was established in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, by the African Development Bank, the IMF, and the World Bank to meet the pressing training needs of the African continent. The participants discussed four main topics: the changing role of the state, governance, and new capacity requirements; the challenge of achieving macroeconomic stability in Africa; the requirement for capacity building in Africa; and the role of international financial institutions in capacity building in Africa. The seminar was held in November 1999, but the topics and recommendations of the seminar remain current and of particular importance today. The seminar was held in English and French, and both language versions are contained in this volume. 240 pp. 2001

This economic literature research emerged as evidence on the impact of Brain Drain (Skilled Workers) as a critical role in developing countries. In this paper, we tested emigration panel data estimations for a sample of all Sub-Saharan African countries. Our empirical strategy plan employs the Fixed Effect and Random Effect regression analysis techniques on a unique model. We utilized a dataset of 43 Sub-Saharan African countries between 2004-2015. We show that economic down in most African countries is likely to cause increases in Brain Drain turnover in the region. Additionally, our panel data tested the wide range of diminishing returns and the prediction model of emigration rates in this region. The estimated cross-region findings in this region of the combined effects increase on Brain Drain have caused a frequency of prone economies. However, the main cause for the present poverty in the region is due to poor African political specifications.
