Import substitution industrialization revisited: considering import substitution industrialization and export-oriented industrialization to accelerate intra-African trade and the expansion of regional value chains : side event held on the margins of Africa Industrialization Week summary of proceedings
No full textAfrican countries are increasingly exploring innovative ways, in addition to tried but not fully tested approaches, to promote industrialization, both within the country and within the region.

Land tenure systems in North Africa: a scoping study
No full textThe main goal of the study was to provide scientists and policymakers useful evidence on the nature of land tenure systems in five North African countries, namely Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan, and Tunisia. In so doing, the study provides a basis for a strategic plan aimed at designing appropriate interventions to improve land governance in the region. The outcomes of the study, which are presented in this book, specifically highlight the needs of the countries regarding capacity development on land governance through better informed training, continuous training, and research. Within the framework of the priorities and activities of NELGA, a study was planned on the need’s analysis on training, continuing education and Research in North Africa for implementing convenient strategies and programs. The expected outcomes must reflect the reality of the problems related to various needs of the Northern Africa countries. The aim of the results is to develop programs enabling us to meet the Governments and professionals’ needs in the capacity building required for any sustainable development strategy. The overall objective of the study is to produce a document summarizing the status of land and land governance in North Africa from a legislative and institutional point of view. This general diagnosis of land systems will constitute the basis for a “benchmark” analysis to establish the similarities and differences among the countries of North Africa. The study aims, among other, to meet the below expectations and to tackle the following questions: What fields are likely to improve land governance in North Africa? What are the needs of the different stakeholders? What are the needs of professionals? What are the aspects to be highlighted in the projects of academic training, continuing education and research? Who are the potential partners and development partners to help develop capacity building programs on Land Governance in each country
Investissement sensible à la dimension de genre pour une croissance inclusive en Afrique du Nord
No full textCette étude examine l’entrepreneuriat et les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) en Afrique du Nord, en mettant un accent particulier sur le rôle des femmes.

L’étape suivante consiste à analyser le rôle des femmes dans la vie économique en Afrique du Nord en examinant la proportion d’entreprises détenues par des femmes et leur part dans les structures de propriété. L’investissement sensible au genre est mis en avant comme une stratégie pour lutter contre les disparités entre les sexes
