Africa Industrialisation Day (Part 1)

In this episode, we discuss Africa Industrialisation Day and examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on industrialisation in the continent. We discuss the contributions from manufacturing and exports to industrialisation and the changing dynamics of global value chains. We elaborate on some provisional recommendations that can help drive economic transformation post-COVID-19, including the role of Industries Without Smokestacks and how the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) can help African economies bounce back from the economic recession post-pandemic.
