This report reviews the structure and composition of Africas trade along with the associated problems of commodity dependence. It also attempts to place in perspective the reasons for Africa's poor performance and its declining share in world trade. In addition, the report appeals for a new international initiative on commodities, consonant with the development needs of African countries.

The African Development Report 2003 is the fifteenth annual survey of economic and social progress in Africa. Published for the sixth consecutive year by OUP, the Report provides comprehensive analysis of the state of the African economy, examining development policy issues affecting theeconomic prospects of the continent.The Report's theme this year - The Challenge of Globalization and Africa's Development - addresses some pertinent questions such as: How has Africa fared in the increasingly globalizing world? How does Africa maximize the opportunities and benefits of globalization while minimizing the risks andcoping with the challenges of increasingly stiff competition in the goods market and volatility of capital flows? What are the policies and strategies for dealing with the problems of globalization, and especially of reducing poverty and promoting development in the Continent? The African Development Bank is a multilateral development finance institution whose membership comprises all African countries and 25 from Asia, Europe, North and South America. As Africa's premier development finance institution, the ADB is uniquely placed to provide comprehensive analysis ofeconomic developments and policy concerns in the region. As such, the ADR is set to become the standard reference for economists and policy makers interested in African development for many years to come.

This is the fourth annual review of Africa's economic performance and near-term prospects, which seeks to build on the work of the three previous reports by laying out an agenda based on systematic benchmarking of economic performance. The report finds that economic growth in Africa slowed in 2002 to 3.2 per cent (from an average of 4.3 per cent per year previously), reflecting the slower than expected recovery in world trade, the effects of drought and AIDS in southern and eastern Africa, and the political and armed conflicts in several countries. Despite these problems, well-managed economies with solid reform agendas and good governance performed well, and this mixed performance highlights the importance of steady growth levels for effective poverty reduction and sustainable improvements in living standards. The report also contains seven in-depth country studies of Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique, Ghana, Egypt, Gabon and Mauritius, which reveal a number of inter-country disparities in growth and development levels between urban and rural areas.

The conferences emphasize the contribution that empirical and basic economic research can make to understanding development processes and to formulating sound development policies.The 14th conference addressed four timely and important themes in development: trade and poverty, Africa's future in terms of industrial and/or agricultural development, education and empowerment, and investment climate and productivity. This book is a collection of conference papers from this forum, written by researchers in and outside the World Bank.

Is the plight of sub-Saharan Africa due to the inadequacies and mismanagement of its leaders, historically and present; the greediness of the developed nations; or the African people themselves? Drawing upon a wide range of sources, Felicien Dago takes a hard look at the economy of sub-Saharan Africa from all aspects, and suggests ways and means in which the African people can and should be given the opportunity to pull their countries out of poverty and into prosperity. This book is a must for anyone interested in the economics and future-building of sub-Saharan Africa.

The 2017 Economic Report on Africa focuses on the linkages between industrialization and urbanization. Urbanization is one of Africa mega trends with profound implications for the social, economic, environmental dimensions of growth and transformation. Theory and experience demonstrate that industrialization and urbanization can be mutually reinforcing processes. It is therefore imperative to explore the linkages between urbanization and industrialization given the profound implications for structural transformation in Africa. So far, current policy narratives and frameworks on structural transformation and industrialization in Africa have largely failed to factor in the spatial and urban dimensions of industrialization, and in particular the advantages presented by productivity enhancement and agglomeration effects generated by cities. Yet, the nexus between urbanization and industrialization is of particular relevance for Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. Both agendas recognize urbanization as a critical factor for sustainable development. It is also important to consider urbanization and industrialization in light of Africa's engagement with the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to be held in Quito, Ecuador in October 2016. In this context, African policy makers have clearly recognized urbanization as an engine of structural transformation for inclusive and sustainable growth.

In the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the international community has set itself a target of reducing poverty by half by the year 2015. Many observers have now come to the conclusion that, on present trends, there is very little likelihood that this objective can be achieved at any time close to that date in the poorer countries, including in Africa. The continents debt problems and its resource requirements are inextricably linked to the capacity of African countries to generate capital accumulation and growth. The current study questions Africas debt sustainability and tries to put these and other related issues in perspective making a number of recommendations on how to deal with Africas debt overhang, either through the adoption of new approaches or a major revision and improvement of present debt relief policies.

This years report examines Africas export performance after trade liberalization in order to draw lessons for use in the design of future development strategies. It identifies Africas weak supply response as the most important impediment to the continents export performance, suggesting that future export policies should focus more on ways to increase production for export. The publication proposes some policies that could help Africa to refocus its development priorities on structural transformation in order to increase the continents supply capacity and export response.
