"The role of industry in low income countries is important.
Industry is good for growth, job creation, and poverty reduction.
All of these factors depend on the size and the rate of growth of
industry. Africa doesn't have enough industry to reach the
Sustainable Development Goals for growth, job creation, and poverty
reduction. Africa's share of global manufacturing has fallen from
about three percent in 1970 to less than two percent in 2010. Why
is there so little industry in Africa? Made in Africa: Learning to
Compete in Industry outlines a new industrialization strategy to
help Africa compete in global markets. This book draws on case
study and qualitative research from Africa and emerging Asia to
understand what drives firm-level productivity in low income
countries. The results show that while traditional concerns such as
infrastructure, skills, and the regulatory environment are
important, they alone will not be sufficient for Africa to
industrialize. The book also addresses how industrialization
strategies will need to adapt to the region's growing resource
abundance. "
