For millions of Africans, growth is yet to translate into jobs and better living conditions. Africa's largely commodity- driven growth has not been matched by the much needed structural change that can lead to economic transformation, employment, and reduced poverty. Market failures necessitate industrial policy interventions. Yet, in the absence of the right processes and institutions, good industrial policies will fail. Indeed, weak institutions and poor policy design have hindered industrial policy. This report gives a framework for getting the policy process right to foster industrialization. It uses 11 country case studies to assess the critical ingredients for spurring industrialization - innovative institutions, effective processes and flexible mechanisms - and structural transformation.

This publication is the 7th in an annual series that reviews the continent's economic performance and near-term prospects. It finds that, continuing the economic recovery since the mid-1990s, African countries generally recorded strong growth in 2005, a major turnaround after decades of economic stagnation. However, growth remains uneven across countries, and in many countries fast growth has not been accompanied by substantial gains in employment or poverty reduction. There are a number of imbalances which constrain the ability of African countries to accelerate and sustain growth, between exports and imports, between resource inflows and debt payments, and between domestic savings and domestic investment. African countries thus need to mobilise more domestic and external financial resources, including official and private capital flows, to fill the financing gaps in order to accelerate growth and sustain higher levels of growth. This year's report focuses on how better-managed capital flows could help African countries achieve their development goals.

This publication is the 8th in an annual series that reviews the continent's economic performance and near-term prospects. This report examines the recent trends and prospects. African economies continue to sustain the growth momentum of previous years, recording an overall real GDP growth rate of 5.7 per cent in 2006 compared to 5.3 per cent in 2005 and 5.2 per cent in 2004. As many as 28 countries recorded improvements in growth in 2006, relative to 2005. Only Zimbabwe recorded a negative growth rate in 2006. Africa's growth performance in 2006, as in previous years, was underpinned by improvement in macroeconomic management in many countries, and strong global demand for key African export commodities, sustaining high export prices, especially for crude oil, metals and minerals. But the growth rates still fall short of the levels required to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The continent faces the challenge of both accelerating growth and sustaining growth rates over an extended period. African countries need to sustain reforms to macroeconomic stability and improve the domestic investment climate to promote private sector activity. They also need to design strategies for diversification of their product and export base as a means of increasing growth and sustaining the growth momentum. The second part of the report looks at diversification trends, and suggests policies for achieving diversification.

The 2017 Economic Report on Africa focuses on the linkages between industrialization and urbanization. Urbanization is one of Africa mega trends with profound implications for the social, economic, environmental dimensions of growth and transformation. Theory and experience demonstrate that industrialization and urbanization can be mutually reinforcing processes. It is therefore imperative to explore the linkages between urbanization and industrialization given the profound implications for structural transformation in Africa. So far, current policy narratives and frameworks on structural transformation and industrialization in Africa have largely failed to factor in the spatial and urban dimensions of industrialization, and in particular the advantages presented by productivity enhancement and agglomeration effects generated by cities. Yet, the nexus between urbanization and industrialization is of particular relevance for Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. Both agendas recognize urbanization as a critical factor for sustainable development. It is also important to consider urbanization and industrialization in light of Africa's engagement with the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to be held in Quito, Ecuador in October 2016. In this context, African policy makers have clearly recognized urbanization as an engine of structural transformation for inclusive and sustainable growth.
