Why is there so little industry in Africa? Over the past forty years, industry has moved from the developed to the developing world, yet Africa’s share of global manufacturing has fallen from about 3 percent in 1970 to less than 2 percent in 2014. Industry is important to low-income countries. It is good for economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. Made in Africa: Learning to Compete in Industry outlines a new strategy to help African industry compete in global markets. This book draws on case studies and econometric and qualitative research from Africa and emerging Asia to understand what drives firm-level competitiveness 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.

This study presents the findings of original field research into the design, practice, and varied outcomes of industrial policy in three sectors in Ethiopia: cement, leather and leather products, and floriculture. Given that there is a single industrial strategy, why do its outcomes vary across sectors? To what extent is this a function of the specific market and political economy features of each sector? The book examines industrial structures and associated global value chains to demonstrate the challenges faced by African firms in international markets.

The 2018/19 Premier League season was a historic one for African players in English football. More than 130 years after Arthur Wharton became the first, Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah shared the Golden Boot with Arsenal's Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a record-breaking campaign that saw Liverpool pipped for the title by a point by Manchester City. A statue of Wharton now stands at the Football Association's headquarters at St George's Park – a testament to his status as an important pioneer of the game. But the story of how it got there, just like many of the African players who followed in his path such as Steve Mokone, Albert Johanneson, Peter Ndlovu, Christopher Wreh, Lucas Radebe and Didier Drogba, is far from straightforward. Ed Aarons describes how they confronted racism to help change the face of English football forever, enabling the modern generation of superstars like Mané and Salah to flourish. Detailing their remarkable journeys to Anfield from Senegal and Egypt, Made in Africa also features an exclusive interview with Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp - who broke the transfer record for an African player for the third time in the space of 14 months when he signed Naby Keïta for almost £53m in August 2017. He explains how the club's African contingent played an integral role in the thrilling climax to the season that ended with them becoming European champions for the sixth time.

Esta es una historia sobre cómo a través de la determinación, la persistencia, la planicación, el trabajo duro y la respuesta a la puerta cuando la oportunidad llama, un sueño puede nalmente hacerse realidad. Es un caso clásico de "Si al principio lo intentas y fracasas, inténtalo y vuelve a intentarlo". El éxito rara vez es un viaje en línea recta, sino que está cargado de retrasos, desvíos y decepciones. Pero si uno no pierde la esperanza, sino que persevera en las buenas y en las malas, se puede conseguir la victoria, y oh, qué dulce es cuando se consigue. También subraya el hecho de que soñar sin actuar no es más que una quimera. O, como dicen los creyentes, la fe sin obras está muerta. Por supuesto, cuando uno triunfa en la vida, no debe olvidar de dónde viene, sino que debe tender la mano para ayudar a los demás. Esta historia real está ambientada en un pequeño pueblo, Esiama, en Ghana, África Occidental, donde nació y creció una joven, Theresa. Apenas conoció a su padre, que murió en un trágico accidente cuando ella sólo tenía tres años. La tarea de criarla recayó en su abuela y su madre, que estuvieron más que a la altura. La abuela Eboyie, sin educación formal, se empeñó en preparar a su nieta para la vida, inculcándole disciplina, respeto al trabajo y a los demás, independencia, capacidad de gestión y astucia en la calle. A pesar de que el padre de Theresa era una persona con medios razonables y muy apreciada en el pueblo, la abuela optó por formarla mediante la escuela de los golpes duros, sin privilegios. Cuando Theresa se marchó de casa para ir al internado y al instituto en una ciudad lejana, estaba bien equipada para construir una base rme con conocimientos de libros a través de la educación formal. Habiendo sido testigo, al crecer, de la difícil situación de la gente de su zona que tenía pocos medios, especialmente en lo que respecta a la atención sanitaria, soñaba con convertirse en médico para poder aliviar a su gente. De hecho, ella misma tuvo unas circunstancias de nacimiento muy difíciles. Desgraciadamente, por mucho que lo intentara, no pudo acceder a la facultad de medicina en el primer intento. Se conformó con su segunda opción en la universidad. En el último año de la universidad, su vida dio un giro importante. Se casó con un caballero que había recibido una beca para estudiar en Estados Unidos. Tal vez, el sueño se haría realidad después de todo, pensó. Pero no tan rápido, se presentaban numerosos obstáculos en el camino. Se vio obligada a seguir otro camino educativo alternativo. Compaginó los rigurosos programas de posgrado con la maternidad, además de trabajar para atender las necesidades de la familia. Finalmente, la oportunidad de estudiar medicina llegó tras más de una década de espera. Para entonces, tenía 40 años. Pero esa era la parte fácil. Tuvo que combinar el riguroso trabajo de la facultad de medicina con la crianza de cuatro hijos en condiciones muy difíciles. Al nal, Theresa perseveró y triunfó hasta convertirse en una doctora en obstetricia y ginecología cualicada. Después llegó otra serie de retos, esta vez de índole sanitaria, que la han obligado a considerar la posibilidad de interrumpir su carrera médica después de menos de 15 años. Theresa se hizo en África, donde recibió su naturaleza y su crianza. Lo hizo en Estados Unidos, utilizando su rigurosa preparación para aprovechar las oportunidades que se le ofrecían. Es un ejemplo estelar de cómo los sueños se hacen realidad, si no perdemos la esperanza.

Depuis des siècles, en Afrique, nous héritons générations après générations des récits de notre passé, un passé peu reluisant, un passé de victimes sans Dieux et sans discernement. Le récit dans ses lignes nous parle d’un Homme noir perdu dans ses forêts et démuni de raisonnement, d’une retransmission des savoirs (de base) unique-ment par voie orale. Puis d’un Homme blanc nous apportant la connaissance, nous sortant de l’ignorance et de nos souffrances. Ensuite le récit prend une tout autre tournure, se dé-voile peu à peu les contours et les lignes invisibles. Et l’Homme noir de dire que cet Homme blanc n’était en vérité qu’un loup déguisé en agneau. De nos jours, tellement a été dit et fait sur le sujet. La traite des noirs a été reconnue comme crime contre l’humanité, des dates ont été consacrées et des jour-nées célébrées, des monuments ont été érigés et des institutions sont nées, cependant, force est de constater que cette Afrique noire a toujours tant de mal à décoller. Avec MADE IN AFRICA et toute la dérision et la provocation qui y transparaît, je viens, marchant sur des œufs et averti, rappeler à nos consciences d’où qu’elles soient, la véritable place de l’Homme au milieu de toute cette vie. Et par-dessus TOUT, et dans une forme simple à parcourir, je viens rappeler aux plus anciens et inculquer aux plus jeunes de cette Afrique noire leur véritable Patrimoine et leur Véritable Histoire. C’est en partant de nos vraies racines, de notre véritable histoire que naîtra, en abondance dans les consciences de nos enfants, la fierté de notre particularité. Nous sommes les descendants de la plus grande et la plus raffinée des civilisations que la terre a abritées, et nous sommes bien sur le continent le plus riche de la planète. Ce devoir de réhabilitation nous incombe à tous, car si on ne prête pas une minutieuse attention à notre glorieux passé, comme nos pères avant nous, nous entrons malheureusement dans la vie (dans cette Afrique noire en particulier) avec ce complexe d’infériorité imposé et entretenu d’une part, par cet occident honteux de son vrai et dissimulé passé et d’autre part, par la passivité, la naïveté et la voracité de nos dirigeants.
