About thiS guide

the Secretariat of the Africa progress panel has prepared this guide to illustrate key development issues between countries competing in the World Cup.

For each selected game, the guide provides a brief overview of the relationship or “match history” between the competitors identifying “attempts on target” and “attempts off target” from a development perspective. it goes on to present a “game plan” that outlines policy recommendations and possible areas for action.

the guide compiles a series of statistics to show how the teams rank in the global tables of economic and social development, women’s empowerment and governance. the indicators and indexes used are:

gross domestic product (gdp): iMF World economic outlook (2009). Actual and *estimated figures.life expectancy: World Bank database(2008 data)population: World Bank database (2008 data)Major exports: BBCCountryProfilesexternal debt: World Bank database external debt stock total (2008), oeCd Central government debt stock (2008).Official Development Assistance (ODA): oeCd odA by donor (2009), World Bank database net odA received (2008), oeCd ‘non-oeCd countries odA disbursement’ (2008)education: World Bank database (2008 and 2009)co2 emissions (2005): Climate Analysis indicators tool (CAit)freedom: Freedom house index (2009)% of parliamentarians that are Women: inter-Parliamentary union (2010 data)Human Development Rank: undP human development report (2009)Global Competitiveness Rank: World economic Forum global Competitiveness report (2010)Doing Business Rank: World Bank doing Business report (2010)Corruption Perception Rank: transparency international (2009)Environmental Performance Rank: Yale Center for environmental law & Policy (2010) Gender Gap Rank: World economic Forum gender gap report (2009)World Ranking of Women in Nationalparliaments: inter-Parliamentary union (2010 data)FIFA Rank: CapeTownMagazineWorldCupTeamProfiles(2010)

billions of people are excited about the World cup. So are we – and not just becauseourtwocountriesarefieldingsuchstrongsides.Thegamesareavasttapestryofcolour,noise,talent, competitiveness, sporting suspense and human drama, on and off the pitch. Most of all, they are going to be fun – for the teams, spectators and the whole world, watching or listening live, from cafes, bars, living rooms, public screens and radios, downtown and in the most remote corners of the earth.

TheWorldCupbringstheplanettogethermoreeffectivelythananytreatyorconventionevercan.Itaffirmsour common humanity, at a time when so much of the news does the opposite. For a moment we can put aside the disasters and wars, prejudice and intolerance. Sport, like music, breaks down barriers, challenging stereotypes. it gets us going, dancing, and celebrating.

the diversity of teams, and the countries they represent, is what makes the World Cup such a great event. the many differences between them matter little once the game has started. But while every team represents the aspirations of millions of their fellow citizens, each has taken a very different journey to get there.

the purpose of this guide is to illustrate an aspect of that journey – the widely varying national circumstances of each African team and of the countries they are scheduled to play – in terms of their development, and how they relate to each other. As this guide shows, some countries are relatively rich; others poor. they face common challenges, and struggle with issues that both unite and divide them.

Wehaveseentimeandagainhowsportcanhelpovercomethemostdeep-rootedconflictsandtensionswithin countries. here in South Africa, the 1995 rugby World Cup helped to unify the country and heal the deep scars of the past. our dream is that sport can bridge gaps and help overcome differences between nations and even continents.

For the fact is that many African and developing countries are still at a great disadvantage. they are not beingallowedtocompeteinternationallyonalevelplayingfield,withanimpartialrefereeandaclearsetof accepted rules and regulations. Far from it; in fact, they are being heavily penalized. What would be a scandal in the world of football is still commonplace in the society of nations.

they are not responsible for climate change, but are suffering its worst effects, making life much more difficult, unhealthy and dangerous for billions of people. Global rules on trade, technology, finance,migrationandcopyrightmakethetasksofgrowingtheireconomiesandfightingpoverty,ofmakingsurethateveryonehasenoughtoeatanddecenthealthcare,muchmoredifficult.Asaresultofunfairrules,meeting the Millennium development goals is a much harder struggle that it should be.

Players and fans, whether from Midrand, Manila, Manchester or Montevideo, all understand the importance of fair play and an impartial referee. We passionately believe that this understanding should not be limited to the way countries play, run and score against each other, but also the way they do business and politics with each other; that the spirit of the World Cup should extend into countries’ economic and political relations; that the celebration of our common humanity should not be limited to one month every four years.

in that spirit we hope that this guide will, in a modest way, make you aware of another dimension to the World Cup, and perhaps make it easier for some of the outpouring of goodwill it represents to be channeled towards a fairer world.

Governance: South Africa and Mexico have much in common. Both are emerging powers, members of the g20, and play a leading role in current climate change negotiations, with Mexico hosting the unFCCC Sixteenth Conference of the Parties (CoP 16) in december 2010, and South Africa hosting the subsequent CoP meeting in 2011. in intergovernmental bodies like the un and its specialized agencies, both countries are valued as constructive members.

bilateral cooperation: in April 2010, South Africa and Mexico decided to strengthen their ties. given that they face very similar economic challenges, the countries are now trying to coordinate their recovery strategiesandforgenewtradealliancestokeeptheireconomiesafloat(Source: southafricainfo.org).

entrepreneurship: during a period of undersupply in tequila, South African entrepreneurs grasped the opportunity to become the only producers of agave spirits outside of Mexico. While the name “tequila” is protected under international trade laws and can only be used by Mexico, South African agave spirits, produced in graaff-reinet in the eastern Cape are exported all around the world (Source: South Africa Trade Info).

tourism: Both countries are very popular tourist destinations. Catering to slightly different clienteles, both make use of their long coastlines (9,330km for Mexico and 2,798km for South Africa) and beautiful landscapes to attract growing numbers of visitors. For South Africa’s tourism industry, the World Cup is a major opportunity to draw attention to the country’s beauty and plentiful sights.

trade: there is enormous scope for increasing the volume and quality of trade between the two countries. South Africa’s imports from Mexico have grown over the last years, but they still only add up to around 0.3% of its total imports. Similarly, only around 0.3% of South Africa’s exports are going to Mexico, composing barely 0.05% of Mexico’s total imports. (Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs South Africa)

Migration: Migration is a big issue for both South Africa and Mexico. Both face substantial in- and out-flowsofpeopleinsearchofbetterlives.SouthAfricaisamajordestinationofmigrantsfromacrossallofAfrica, but it is also losing many of its best-educated in a brain-drain. Many Mexicans leave their homes to migrate to other parts of north America, particularly the uS where they make up as much as 12% of the total population. Both countries could learn from each others’ experiences, yet current exchanges are scarce.

crime: Both South Africa and Mexico are suffering from high levels of criminal activity, including drugs, kidnappings, murders, theft and rapes. While South Africa has been ranked as the country with the most rapes per capita, Mexico has one of the highest rates of kidnappings in the world and is struggling with drug related violence (Sources: NationMaster Crime statistics, BBC News Country Profiles).

Investment: Around 200 French companies have set up businesses in South Africa employing a total workforce of over 30,000. France is strongly involved in the South African energy sector, including through its investment in the Koeberg nuclear power plant, the only nuclear power station in Africa. Further French investments in South Africa include a nissan-renault car plant in rosslyn. (Source: French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)

entrepreneurship: While France is still one of the largest wine producers in the world, South Africa is catching up fast. in 2010, South African wines outsold their French competitors in several markets, including the uK. Since 1994, wine exports from South Africa have increased from 50 million litres to nearly 400 million litres, making the country the world’s 9th largest wine producer.

Development Assistance: France is one of the biggest providers of development assistance to South Africa, giving €250 million in 2008 alone. Most of the assistance focuses on improving access to basic services, supporting growth and creating jobs.

Security: the French maritime gendarmerie supports the development of the sea borderline control of theSouthAfricanpolicethroughregularworkshopsinSouthAfrica,officertrainingcoursesinFranceandtechnical capacity building.

health: South Africa is in the midst of an immense increase in testing, treating and preventing hiv/AidS – an effort that the un has stated as the largest and fastest expansion of AidS services ever attempted by any nation. in March 2010 the government had already enabled 519 hospitals and clinics to dispense AidS medicines, and trained hundreds of nurses prescribing drugs. the efforts also include a campaign to test 15 million of the country’s 49 million people for hiv by June 2011.

Development Assistance: France is off track to meet its 2010 gleneagles commitments. So far, France has only achieved 7% of its promised increase in odA to Sub-Saharan Africa from the baseline of $3.19 billion in 2004 to $8.27 billion in 2010 (in 2009 prices). (Source: ONE Data Report 2009)

trade: the eu has offered South Africa preferential economic Partnership Agreements (ePAs). South Africa is opposing the ePAs in their current form because of concerns that they undermine regional integration in the SAdC region (Source: ONE Data Report 2009).

Unfulfilled Promises: in a speech before the South African parliament in 2008, French President nicolas Sarkozy announced far-reaching changes to France’s Africa policy. Amongst other things, he promised tomobilize€2.5billioninnewinvestmentsinsub-SaharanAfricaoverthefollowingfiveyears,renegotiateall bilateral defense agreements, and make French Africa policy more transparent. As of now, many of thePresident’spromisesremainunfulfilled.(Source: The New York Times 2008)

Doha Development Round: the world’s major economies, including France, have continuously committed themselves to completing the doha development rounds (which started in 2001), but have thus far failed to do so. the goal of the doha rounds is to lower trade barriers around the world, allowing for an increase in global trade – including with the developing world.

Governance: Both Argentina and nigeria are active members of the g15, a group of developing countries that seeks to foster South-South cooperation and promote reform in the global trade system. they are also members of the g24, a group of countries working to ensure that their interests are adequately representedininternationalmonetaryanddevelopmentfinancefora.

trade: Between 1999 and 2007, Argentinean exports to nigeria, consisting mainly of wheat, fuels and milk, grew by 569% but still only represent 3.8% of Argentina’s total exports. nigerian exports to Argentina are 99% fuel. (Source: Intercambio Comercial Argentina – Nigeria, Fundación Export.AR. 2009)

Investment: the nigerian national Agency for Food and drug Administration and Control (nAFdAC) has partnered with Argentina’s Food and drug regulatory Authority to promote trade and investment between the countries. Argentina has been encouraging industrialists and businessmen to invest in pharmaceutical, food, beverage and allied industries in nigeria. the nAFdAC is also in the forefront of forming a global drugs anti-counterfeiting network, a coalition of which Argentina is part of. (Source: NBF Topics “Nigeria, Argentina to collaborate on trade, investment promotion” 2009)

Development Assistance: having joined the African development Bank as early as 1985, Argentina has recently begun to provide technical assistance to African countries including nigeria, most notably in the agro-industry and agricultural development sector.

Development: nigeria’s oil wealth and business dynamism have not yet translated into social progress and sustainable economic development for its people. nigeria has the lowest life expectancy and secondary school enrollment rate of all countries competing in the 2010 World Cup. it also has the lowest female representation in Parliament in both lower or Single house and upper house or Senate (Sources: Human Development Report 2009, Inter-Parliamentary Union 2010).

trade: trade between nigeria and South Korea has been on a steady rise, totaling $2.65 billion in 2008. As a result, nigeria has emerged as South Korea’s third largest trading partner in Africa. South Korea is nigeria’s fourth largest trading partner. (Source: The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria)

Development Assistance: South Korea has successfully transformed itself from an aid-recipient to a donor country. An estimated 13% of South Korea’s odA is going to Africa, and it has provided a total of $28 million to nigeria, supporting projects related to agricultural processing and vocational training. South Korea has also begun to share some of its remarkable development experience with nigeria, including lessonson food security, low-carbongrowth,andgovernmentefficiency.

Investment: Although nigeria is keen to attract further foreign direct investment from South Korea, particularly in the area of information and communication technology, security concerns, high levels of corruption, unreliable energy sources and lack of transparent governance impair prospects.

Development: despite enormous resource wealth and some improvements, nigeria remains off target to meet the Millennium development goals on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger and improving health and education services. (Source: MDG Monitor)

Maternal Mortality: nigeria suffers from one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world. A woman in nigeria is almost 70 times more likely to die as a result from child birth than her South Korean counterpart. (Source: WHO World Health Statistics 2010)

trade: Algeria is the largest trading partner of the united States in north Africa and the second largest in the Arab world and Africa as a whole. Algeria’s volume of trade with the uS went from $3.3 billion in 2002 toover$20billionin2008.In2006,AlgeriawasdesignatedabeneficiarycountryfordutyfreetreatmentundertheUnitedStates’GeneralSystemofPreferences(GSP).In2010,thefirsteverofficialUSgovernmenttrade delegation visited Algeria to discuss further trade opportunities. (Source: Algerian Embassy in the US)

Investment: Algeria is among the largest recipients of uS investments in the hydrocarbon sector. With Algeria currently covering 5% of uS oil needs and with plans to increase that share to 20% by 2015, Algeria is bound to receive an even greater share of uS investments in the near future. there are also some efforts underway to diversify uS investment in Algeria. (Source: Algerian Embassy in the US)

Security: SinceSeptember2001,securityrelationsbetweentheUSAandAlgeriahaveintensified,particularlyin the area of military training, intelligence exchange, and counter-terrorism. in december 2009, the two countries reached a $2-3 billion arms supply deal.

Investment: Algeria is still perceivedasadifficultmarket for foreign investors.Also, there hasbeenamarked change in policy towards foreign investors since July 2008, with the imposition of a tougher tax regime, ceilings on foreign ownership and a raft of measures that make it harder to import goods into Algeria.

Doha Development Round: the world’s major economies, including the uS, have continuously committed themselves to completing the doha development rounds (which started in 2001), but have thus far failed to do so. the goal of the doha rounds is to lower trade barriers around the world, allowing for an increase in global trade – including with the developing world.

human rights: Critics claim that both governments tolerate human rights abuses and even torture by officials in their joint counter-terrorism efforts. The UN Committee against Torture has called on bothgovernments to combat impunity, investigate all past and present cases of torture, and ensure that anti-terrorism measures comply with international human rights standards.

Agricultural Subsidies: According to the oeCd, the uS spent approximately $31.6 billion in subsidies to support its farmers in 2007. A recent opportunity to reform the Farm Bill in order to make it less damaging to African farmers was missed. (Source: ONE Data Report 2009)

co2 emissions: Algeria is contributing only 0.32% to the world’s yearly Co2 emissions, while the uS contributes nearly 16%, making it the world’s second largest carbon emitter after China. historically, Africa has contributed the least to total greenhouse gas emissions, yet the continent, and particularly already arid countries like Algeria, are projected to be hit hardest by climate change.

Agricultural Subsidies: despite recent reports on potential improvements in ghana’s access to eu markets, eu agricultural subsidies continue to hit ghana hard. As a key member of the eu and net contributor to its Common Agricultural Policy, germany has a special responsibility to push for a reduction of harmful tariffs and subsidies in the agricultural sector.

Agricultural Subsidies: Agricultural productivity is central to Cameroon’s export industry. owing to the fertile land, almost 70% of Cameroon’s population is engaged in agriculture. the eu’s agricultural subsidies, especially for cotton, which is one of Cameroon’s primary products, are seriously harming Cameroon’s agricultural sector. (Source: EconomyWatch)

deforestation: Illegal logging is a profitable business in Cameroon andwill remain so as long as lawenforcement is not strong enough and corruption prevails. While Cameroon has just signed a voluntary partnership agreement on forest governance and trade in forest products with the eu, there remain questions whether this will substantially improve the situation.

Development Assistance: Brazil has begun to provide development assistance to African countries, including Côte d’ivoire, notably through the Brazilian Cooperation Agency. it has also initiated sector-specificprogrammesliketheBrazil-AfricaCooperationProgrammeonSocialDevelopment.

trade: in line with Brazil’s renewed focus on South-South relations, the government has expanded and prioritized trade ties with African countries. As a result, Brazil’s annual trade with Africa has jumped from $3.1 billion in 2000 to $26.3 billion last year. While trade between Brazil and Côte d’ivoire is still relatively small, both countries are major cocoa producers and founding members of the Cocoa Producers’ Alliance (COPAL) which helps members to exchange technical and scientific information, discussproblems of mutual interest and advance social and economic relations between producers. (Source: Africa Confidential)

Security: Brazil has contributed military personnel to the united nations Mission in Côte d’ivoire (onuCi) and continues to support the Monitoring and evaluation Committee of the ouagadougou Political Agreement. (Source: ONUCI)

Development Assistance: Brazil can do more to share its unique development experience with countries like Côte d’ivoire, particularly in the areas of conditional cash transfers, food security, rural education and industrialization.

Development: Côted’IvoireissignificantlyofftargettomeetmostoftheMillenniumDevelopmentGoals,particularly so in the areas of poverty, hunger and health. despite strong economic growth over the last decade, Brazil may also not be able to meet some of the goals, particularly those relating to poverty reduction (Sources: MDG Monitor, UNDP Human Development Report 2009).

Maternal Mortality: despite efforts by the government and international partners, Côte d’ivoire suffers from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Women in Côte d’ivoire are eight times more likely to die as a result of child birth than their Brazilian counterparts. (Source: WHO World Health Statistics 2010)

Sanctions: Both Côte d’ivoire and north Korea are subject to international sanctions, albeit to very different degrees and for very different reasons. Côte d’ivoire, for example, is under sanctions when it comes to eu’s import ban on diamonds, ban on exports of equipment for internal repression, embargo on arms and related materiel and freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons who constitute a threat to the peace and national reconciliation process in Côte d’ivoire. north Korea is facing similar sanctions, with some additions such as the embargo on certain goods and technologies which could contribute to north Korea’s nuclear-related, missile-related or other weapons of mass destruction-related programs.
