Abstract

Today the African continent faces multiple challenges related to poverty, inequality and corruption which affect not only the quality of life, but also its educational and health systems. There is an urgent need to develop an ethics of life in line with the social, political, economic and moral reality of the African continent. Without this work of contextualization, any reflection regarding the integral human development of the African populations would be hypothetical or unachievable.
