Description

Over the past forty years, industry has moved increasingly from the developed to the developing world, yet Africa’s share of global manufacturing has declined. Industry is critical for economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. Made in Africa outlines a new strategy to help Africa get its fair share of the global market. Based on research from Africa and emerging Asia, it helps the reader understand what makes firms in low income countries more competitive and what makes countries more attractive to competitive firms.
