2015 marks the 20th year since sub-Saharan Africa started on a path of faster economic growth. During that period, growth has averaged 5.2 percent per year. Meanwhile, the number of people on the continent reportedly living under $1.25 a day has continued to creep upwards from 358 million in 1996 to 415 million in 2011—the most recent year for which official estimates exist.
Here is a little story. My third grade teacher went to Africa and brought back trinkets and tales of starving children, villages with grass huts and killings of rare animals. I remember her presentation like it was yesterday.
That was 1959............NOTHING HAS CHANGED AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE. It is a continent that cannot fix itself.
Ignorance, murder and theft and yet, the populations of the unwashed continue breeding.

African countries also need to look at whether or not certain regulations and red tape are stifling business activity that could be producing more jobs.

improve ease of doing business
Mohamed disclosed that in 2016 and 2017, Kenya emerged as the third most reformed country in Sub-Saharan Africa thanks to re-engineering of business processes. Coastweek - The most from the coast

Think that broad brush when come to business, there needs to less in some areas and more in others areas.
One of things that actually hurt some places is the lack of collecting taxes, That people have business and etc on the low and don't pay taxes, which hurt paying for infrastructure.
Some basic stuff like improve roads, lighting, Schools, waste and sewage management would do a lot to improve the quality of life for people.
Your data fails to take Africa's overall population into account in these calculations. Indeed, it appears that extremely poor people made up a much larger percentage of Africa's total population in the past than they do right now.
In fact, this effect was simply masked and hidden by Africa's high population growth rate.

No, they took a break in 1976, the year I spent traveling there. In my honor, they behaved quite civilly'
I remember a lot of things I was told when I was in third grade. I would be really embarrassing to think I still believe them all.

It's really striking. If you google "GDP per capita" + an African country. The first result is a chart from the World bank. For several African countries such as Liberia and the DRC, they've never had a GDP per capita above $600 since the 60s.
The situation imho will only get worse due to population explosion. I actually think a more overt form of colonialism will return with China playing a big role this time around.
