Nigeria: Elections and Continuing Challenges, sponsored by the Councils Center for Preventive Action, suggests immediate and medium-term courses of action for Nigerians and members of the international community. Some of Rotbergs policy recommendations, such as election monitoring, are focused on helping Nigeria avoid a near-term breakdown of democracy. Others, such as strengthening health care infrastructure and improving security, look more broadly to the future and tackle the countrys fundamental challenges of governance and development. As this report makes clear, the stakes are large: The upcoming elections will dramatically affect this critical countrys prospectswhich in turn will dramatically affect the future of all of Africa.
