dc.description.abstract | The UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), cautioned that Africa would need to overcome its current narrow and weak technological and industrial base, if it has to reduce its vulnerability to external shocks. While primary commodities make up about 80% of Africa’s merchandise exports, the ratio is 54% and 24% in the Latin America and Caribbean region and Asia respectively. Yet, we know for a fact that Africa is unlikely to transform this situation without significant investment in science, technology and innovation, according the Information and Communication Service of ECA. | en |
