UN ECA Report Launch Event Ha-Joon Chang (University of Cambridge) Followed by a discussion with Adam B. Elhiraika (UN ECA) Jostein Lohr Hauge (University of Cambridge) chaired by Antonio Andreoni (SOAS Economics). Organised by the Industrial Development and Policy Research Cluster – SOAS IDP, Department of Economics, jointly with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the ETA Economic Transformation of Africa Working group. Africa is at a crossroad. After a long history of exploitation, violent conflicts, and economic turmoils, it has finally seen a decade of improved economic growth and greater political stability. Once written off as a continent uniquely suffering from structural impediments to economic growth and development there is now widespread optimism about the future of the continent. The African countries need to start to think seriously about – and to implement – ways to upgrade their commodity sectors and, more importantly, promote the development of higher-productivity sectors, especially manufacturing but also some high-end services. This report is intended as a contribution to that thinking process. You can find out more about this event from http://goo.gl/RKvXAY
