The objectives of the ACR are to measure and examine capacity in relation to the development agenda in African countries by focusing on the key determinants and components of capacity for development. The first chapter is devoted primarily to Africa’s capacity development landscape. It focuses on the Africa Capacity Indicators and the Africa Capacity Index. This year’s annual theme of key importanceto Africa’s development agenda focuses on the capacity development challenges in
domestic resource mobilization. ACR 2015 surveys the state of and trends in domestic resource mobilization and illicit financial flows across the continent, and it identifies capacity gaps and requirements for countries to mobilize more resources domestically and reduce
illicit financial flows abroad. Also Available in French: Rapport sur les Capacités en Afrique RICA 2015 Les impératifs de capacités pour la mobilisation des ressources intérieures en Afrique.
