1. The economic dimension of terrorism can be perceived in the light of factors that motivate terrorists and in terms of the cost of terrorism. 2. An economic system that fails to create opportunities for the poor, excludes them and redistributes wealth in an inequitable manner creates a socioeconomic environment that reactionary groups can take advantage of. 3. Boko Haram is a combination of a sectarian, totalitarian, fundamentalist and above all a political group, especially because it advances the ideal of a fundamentalist Islamist republic well beyond the desire to seize power. 4. The fight against crime and terrorism in all its forms is a global or international public good; in this case, it is necessary to develop a well-coordinated global strategy to address this demand for the global public good.
In September 2000, world leaders met in New York to adopt the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs embody a set of purposes with quantified targets and deadlines, which aim to alleviate extreme poverty in the world. MDGs are considered as global public goods because of their "cross-borderliness", their indivisibility as well as their distributive effects. Of the eight MDGs, the reduction of extreme poverty is the goal with the greatest multiplier effect on the others as its analytical framework is based on both an absolute approach and a human development component. In Central Africa, an evaluation of the progress achieved on the MDGs shows that although there is significant progress with increasing primary and secondary education for both genders, considerable effort must be made to improve the public health sector, food self-sufficiency, and poverty reduction. Proposals made to speed up the degree of achievement of the MDGs in Central Africa are targeted towards improving the global framework of economic governance and strengthening of macroeconomic stability. The establishment in Central African countries of the "crony capitalism" economic model could favor the development of the private sector considered as the mainstay of economic growth in these countries.
