Rapport économique sur l'Afrique 201

The 2013 edition of the Economic Report on Africa examines key constraints and opportunities for African countries to make the most of their commodities by adding value through linkage development. It then addresses how African countries can design and implement industrial and other development policies to promote value addition and economic transformation and reduce their dependence on producing and exporting unprocessed commodities. The analysis uses desk research and country-specific background policy information, primary firm-level data and information from questionnaires and interviews to underpin evidence-based policy recommendations.
