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.

Download or read book Global Sustainable Development and Renewable Energy Systems written by Olla, Phillip and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the use of Renewable Energy Technology (RET) has significantly increased around the globe. Technologies that once were considered experimental are now being deployed on commercial scales at phenomenal rates, delivering cost-effective substitutions for conventional, fossil fuel-based systems that cause problems including greenhouse gas emissions, expensive operating costs, and global pollution. But these new systems come at a costly rate, and because of this, officials must review their overall efficiency and effectiveness. Global Sustainable Development and Renewable Energy Systems pushes through the boundaries of current research to introduce the concept of an energy management information system, exploring the role of energy for sustainable development. This book goes into great detail describing the benefits of these systems for organizations, focusing on corporate sustainability initiatives and activities to combat climate change. Research presented in this publication includes modeling techniques, software applications, and case studies that reveal how renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass fuel can have a significant implications for both operating costs and environmental impacts.

Download or read book The European Union West Africa Economic Partnership Agreement written by Bouët, Antoine and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent modifications, the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Union (EU) and West African (WA) countries is still being criticized for its potential detrimental effects on WA countries. This paper provides updated evidence on the impact of the EPA on these countries. A dynamic multicountry, multisector computable general equilibrium trade model with modeling of the dual-dual economy and with a consistent tariff aggregator is used to simulate a series of new scenarios that include updated information on the agreement. We also go beyond estimating macrolevel economic effects to analyze the impacts on poverty. The policy simulation results show that the implementation of the EPA between the EU and WA countries would have marginal but positive impacts on Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire and negative impacts on Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo. The impact on poverty indicators in Ghana and Nigeria would be marginal. From the perspective of WA countries, this study supports the view that recent EU concessions are not sufficient and that domestic fiscal reforms are needed in WA countries themselves.
Download or read book Quality of Life and the Millennium Challenge written by Valerie Møller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new millennium is widely considered to be the age of globalisation, democratisation, and human rights. We live in a knowledge society and in a time of risk and uncertainty. World society is rapidly urbanising and ageing and exhausting its natural resources. It is the interplay of such key trends of the era that calls for a fresh approach to measuring quality of life. This collection of papers presents an innovative approach to evaluating living standards and wellbeing under the new circumstances facing individuals and societies in twenty-first century. Contributions cover a wide range of issues that impact positively and negatively on wellbeing in our age. While stability, trust, equal access to resources and the social integration of disadvantaged members of society enhance well-being, poverty, social exclusion, congestion in cities, HIV/AIDS and global warming pose threats to both modern and traditional lifestyles. Methodological refinements of conventional measurement tools are presented that take into consideration the rich diversity of lifestyles and values among different populations and regions of the world. This book will be essential reading for social scientists and ordinary citizens who are concerned about the future of human well-being on our planet.
