This paper informs policy makers on necessary development action in Africa. The author argues that Africa's private sector is burdened by the staggering costs of two key hurdles: the lack of power and roads. The author concludes that the United States can help Africa overcome these obstacles by transferring the technology and know-how of the US private sector to provide energy and build roads, thereby promoting growth and reducing poverty in the region.
