Economic Development in Africa Report 2011 by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Pdf

The 2011 Economic Development in Africa Report focuses on the topic Fostering Industrial Development in Africa in the New Global Environment. The Report provides an overview of the stages, performance and lessons learned from previous attempts at promoting industrial development in Africa (chapter 2). It then goes on to discuss key elements for a new industrial policy for Africa. This must begin with a careful diagnosis of the current situation and strategy design. A framework for this, as well as a typology of African countries, is set out in chapter 3. Chapter 4 goes on to discuss the why and the how of industrial policy, whilst chapter 5 indicates how the policy may be calibrated with the new policy messages of the Report. The Report is the product of joint work, and is jointly published by UNCTAD and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO

Economic Report on Africa 2011 by United Nations Pdf

Many African economies are still characterized by a heavy reliance on the primary sector, high vulnerability to external shocks, jobless growth and slow progress towards social development. It is essential for African countries to promote economic diversification and structural transformation as a means to accelerate and sustain broad-based and shared high-employment-generating growth. This Report highlights that failure of earlier state-led and market-driven approaches to promoting economic transformation points to the need for fostering long-term investment, rapid and sustained economic growth, equity and social development within inclusive, transparent and comprehensive development frameworks.

Economic Development in Africa Report 2009 by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Pdf

The Report focuses on ways of strengthening regional economic integration for Africa´s development.

The report finds that - when designed and implemented within a broader development strategy regional integration could help improve competitiveness and serve as a launching pad for African economies´ effective participation in the global economy.

Economic Development in Africa by Anonim Pdf

One of the most prominent objectives of the Millennium Development Goals is to have member States halve their levels of absolute poverty by 2015. Whilst some developing countries are making progress towards this target, recent statistics show indicate that in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa the numbers living in poverty is increasing. One of the reasons for this is its relatively low rate of economic growth.This year's Economic Development in Africa report examines the potential of African countries to strengthen domestic financial resource mobilisation, in order to reduce dependence on official development assistance (ODA), and diversify their development resources and channel these resources to productive investments. It highlights the need for "developmental States" in Africa with the required policy space to design and implement policies that address their priorities and make optimal use of available resources in a way that leads to a virtuous circle of accumulation, investment, growth and poverty reduction.
