Date of publication
|
The global financial and economic crisis has revealed Africa’s vulnerability to external economic shocks. Largely dependent on the export of commodities, many of the continent’s economies suffered setbacks in economic growth and in their efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
|
This study analyses the economies of selected African countries’ and their diversification profiles and strategies. The five case studies, of Angola, Benin, Kenya, South Africa, and Tunisia, provide a detailed view on the state of economic diversification in the continent. From these experiences, policy recommendations are drawn for African governments, regional institutions and the international community.
The study is published jointly by the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (UN-OSAA) and the NEPAD-OECD Africa Investment Initiative.
