Pays émergents

While much attention has been paid to the lack of structural transformation or to processes of premature deindustrialisation, a number of Sub Saharan African countries have actually made important steps in the development of a manufacturing sector, and have attracted increasing investment towards an emerging auto industry.

The report presented here, outcome of a project launched by IndustriALL and FES/TUCC, focuses on seven countries that have either experienced a flourishing automotive sector or that show promising prospects of future expansion: Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa.
