Participation in the existed global economic integration is an inevitable process becausernit brings additional positive force for the acceleration of economic growth, and ensuringrnsustainable development, particularly for resource-scarce developing countries like Sub-rnSaharan Africa., But there will be a need to regulate the level and value of the integrationrnto maximize the benefits and reduce the costs associated with it.rnThe debate about economic development has taken on a new turn since recent years andrnstart thinking beyond per capita gross national product as the measure of a countryâ€™srndevelopment performance, instead the human development index challenged purelyrneconomic measures of national achievement and helped lay the conceptual foundation forrnthe UN's MDGs, calling for consistent global tracking of progress in health, educationrnand overall living standards. To this effect, using a panel data on 39 Sub-SaharanrnAfrican countries from 1990 to 2009, this study explores the potential contribution ofrneconomic globalization for the achievement of human development in SSA. The study usesrnHDI as a dependent variable and the inflow of investment, GDP Per Capita and tradernopenness as independent variables. To test the sensitivity of the results, I employ therndynamic panel data method based on System GMM to verify findings.rnThe estimation result suggests that both greater GDP Per Capita and the inflow of foreignrninvestment are positively and significantly contribute to the growth of human developmentrnindex and then to the progress of those human development components of MDGs. But,rnthe study also confirms outward trade policy has no a direct impact in countryâ€™s effort tornimprove the welfare development of their nation in the region. Moreover, the studyrnrecommends SSA countries should focus on domestic and foreign investment policies thatrnencourage job creation, skill and technology transfers, strengthen the quality andrnaccessibility of both health and education sectors
