Franklin Cudjoe, the founder of IMANI Africa, has highlighted policy indiscipline and institutional incompetence as major obstacles hindering Africa's efforts to build resilient economies. At the Students and Young Professionals African Liberty Academy (SYPALA) 2026 conference in Accra, Cudjoe emphasized that the lack of consistent implementation and compliance with established frameworks is a significant issue.
He argued that African countries need greater alignment between policy formulation and implementation for sustainable economic growth. Cudjoe pointed out that African governments often pass laws promoting fiscal discipline but then disregard them, leading to debt and undermining institutional credibility.

Cudjoe stressed that African governments should prioritize enforcing existing policies rather than continuously introducing new ones, as the issue extends beyond policy choices to the competence of implementing officials.
