Download or read book Renforcer les comp tences au Cameroun written by Shobhana Sosale and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon has strong goals for its growth and development. By 2035, it aims to be an emerging economy. The country s medium-term goals are focused on alleviating poverty, consolidating democracy, and achieving national unity while respecting diversity. This report contributes substantively to the Government s vision on Strategy for Growth and Employment, putting human development and employment at center stage. Cameroon faces three main challenges: Developing more robust formal and informal employment opportunities by strengthening human development. Increasing productivity in agriculture, mining, and key value chains (timber, tourism, and information and communication technology). Advancing growth by investing in infrastructure and improving the business climate and regional integration. The Strategy sets a target for reducing underemployment from 76 percent of the workforce to 50 by 2020 by creating tens of thousands of formal jobs. But based on results from the first two years of its implementation, the strategy is far from achieving that target. This report is meant to support Cameroon s efforts to build the skills of its workers. This report reaches conclusions and offers policy recommendations to answer six questions: What has been the trajectory of Cameroon s economic growth? Which sectors have contributed to growth? What jobs are being created? What types of skills are being used in the sectors where the highest percentages of the population are employed? What are the demand and supply barriers to skills? Which policies and institutions are in play? Are they sufficient? What needs to or could be reformed? Cameroon has good prospects for moving to middle-income status. It can create a more dynamic, responsive workforce. But a new strategy is required. It can be done.This report proposes new directions and provides recommendations. Outcomes are expected. Work has never been easy. But many have been working and Cameroon can work."

Download or read book L exploitation mini re en Afrique written by Punam Chuhan-Pole and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le boom des ressources naturelles en Afrique a tiré la croissance dans toute la région, sans contribuer de manière substantielle à améliorer le bien-être et les moyens de subsistance des citoyens. Les personnes vivant dans les pays africains richement dotés en ressources naturelles sont moins alphabétisées de 3 %, ont une espérance de vie plus faible de 4,5 ans et affichent des taux de malnutrition plus élevés chez les femmes et les enfants que dans les pays de la région n’ayant pas de ressources naturelles. Cette lenteur dans la réduction de la pauvreté est souvent attribuée à la croissance économique tirée par les ressources naturelles †“ la dénommée malédiction des ressources naturelles. Au-delà de l’impact global, les communautés vivant à proximité des centres miniers souffrent-elles également d’une malédiction des ressources naturelles ? L’exploitation minière en Afrique †“ Les communautés locales en tirent-elles parti ? examine comment l’exploitation aurifère à grande échelle dans trois pays †“ le Ghana, le Mali et la Tanzanie †“ affecte les moyens de subsistance et les communautés locales. L’analyse et les résultats des auteurs concluent qu’en moyenne, les communautés minières bénéficient d’avantages sociaux positifs bien que limités. L’étude définit trois grands canaux †“ marché, fiscal et environnemental †“ pouvant affecter les localités. Les auteurs appliquent ce cadre d’analyse à l’exploitation aurifère à grande échelle dans les trois pays de l’étude et ils utilisent des méthodes économétriques solides pour évaluer ces effets au niveau local. Si le défi de l’extraction des ressources naturelles est traité dans toutes ses dimensions, des pistes pour une prospérité partagée et une meilleure égalité peuvent être ouvertes, créant ainsi une vie meilleure pour les familles et améliorant les perspectives des pays dans lesquels elles vivent. Ce livre a pour objectif d’éclairer les politiques publiques et le comportement des entreprises concernant le bien-être des communautés situées à proximité des sites d’extraction et les opportunités que l’activité minière peut leur offrir.

Download or read book L industrialisation en Afrique subsaharienne written by Kaleb G. Abreha and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Génératrice d’emplois et de productivité, l’industrialisation est un vecteur de croissance qui coïncide souvent avec l’accélération du développement dans les économies les plus avancées. Cela étant, du fait de la rapidité des avancées technologiques et des restructurations qu’a connues le commerce international, certains chercheurs et décideurs remettent aujourd’hui en cause les contributions de l’industrie manufacturière au développement dans les Etats où son apparition est tardive. Dans le même temps, l’industrialisation et les transformations structurelles font partie intégrante de l’Agenda 2063 de l’Union africaine et des stratégies de développement de nombreux pays d’Afrique sub-saharienne. A la lumière de ce regain d’intérêt pour l’industrialisation dans l’ensemble de la région, il importe moins de savoir si les pays d’Afrique sub-saharienne doivent considérer l’industrialisation comme l’une des voies vers la croissance durable que de promouvoir effi cacement les perspectives ouvertes par cette dernière. L’industrialisation en Afrique subsaharienne : Saisir les opportunités offertes par les chaînes de valeur mondiales se penche sur cette question en proposant de réévaluer les perspectives d’industrialisation des pays d’Afrique sub-saharienne au travers de leur intégration dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales et en examinant le rôle de la politiques dans le renforcement de ces perspectives.Les principaux enseignements de cette étude indiquent que • L’Afrique sub-saharienne n’a pas connu de désindustrialisation précoce; au contraire, la région a bénéfi cié d’une croissance substantielle de l’emploi manufacturier en dépit d’une contribution toujours limitée de la valeur ajoutée industrielle au PIB. • L’intégration de la région aux chaînes de valeur industrielles mondiales reste relativement élevée, bien qu’elle soit marquée par la présence dominante des produits primaires et par le recours à l’emploi peu qualifi é. • L’intégration aux chaînes de valeur mondiales conduit à des créations d’emplois et l’intégration verticale en amont permet d’en créer encore davantage. Le présent ouvrage souligne l’importance des politiques dans le maintien d’un marché compétitif, dans la promotion d’une hausse de la productivité, dans l’encouragement du développement des compétences et dans l’accompagnement de secteurs tels que les infrastructures et la fi nance. Les décideurs politiques peuvent renforcer les connections des chaînes de valeur mondiales 1) en augmentant la valeur ajoutée des produits d’export existants, 2) en encourageant la reconversion vers l’emploi hautement qualifi é et 3) en créant des avantages comparatifs pour les industries centrées sur les savoirs.
