Theme: industrialization for an emerging Africa : aide memoire
The Conference, which has become the premier forum on the continent for African Ministers responsible for Finance, Economy and Economic Development as well as Governors of Central Banks to dialogue on issues pertinent to the African development agenda, will be held under the theme: Industrialization for an Emerging Africa. As discussed below, accelerating Africa’s industrialization agenda is one way through which the recent economic growth achievements can be sustained. Industrialization will also contribute to sustained wealth creation as Africa’s natural resources and other raw materials will be converted into value-added products for export to global markets. In addition, industrialization will help to build competitive economies that can productively be integrated into the global economy. Industrialization is therefore a pre-condition if Africa is to register accelerated development. The Conference will address the question of how African countries can design and implement effective industrial strategies and policies that will support the promotion of value addition and economic transformation, and reduce dependence on the production and export of unprocessed materials.
