Africa Industrialization Week
20th to 24th November 2020.
#AfricaIndustrialization.
The 2021 Africa Industrialization Week aims to highlight Africa’s renewed determination and commitment to Industrialization as one of the central pillars in attaining the continent’s economic growth and development goals as articulated in Agenda 2063 and Agenda 2030.
In light of the key and strategic interdependences between Industrialization and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the 2021 Africa Industrialization Week aims to rally desired political momentum, resources, partnerships and alliances towards an Africa-Industrialization drive. This is along the continent’s resolve to drive structural transformation, built around leveraging Africa’s rich and diverse natural resources, while at the same time embracing current advances in technologies, continental and global geo socio-political trends and emergence of tradeable services.
The Africa Industrialization Week is anticipated to unlock the evolution of a vibrant Pan-African enterprise and capital base that will unleash an inclusive and sustainable industrialisation path-way that carries along the participation of all economic agents, including SMEs, youth, and women in the generation of national wealth and creation of jobs as well as expansion of entrepreneurship opportunities for Africa’s populations. The impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic continue to drive the urgent and imperative the need for bold actions to drive transformative change in key economic pillars such as Industrialization.
