dc.description.abstractDuring the launch of the report by the ECA in Eastern Africa, Ms. Giovanie Biha, ECA's Deputy Executive Secretary, stressed that "African urbanization has not been driven by improving agricultural productivity or increased industrial output, as has been the case elsewhere”. “On the contrary,” she added, “it has been dominated by the expansion of the informal sector – often services. To foster enhanced growth and poverty eradication, African countries should put in place industrial policies that will generate the skilled jobs and productivity gains needed for the structural transformation of their economies.”The launch of the 2017 Economic Report on Africa also provided an opportunity to discuss the challenges of industrialization and structural transformation on the continent and for Eastern Africa in particular. In most of the 14 countries covered by the SRO-EA, the share of the manufacturing sector has been stagnant or declining over the past ten years while the services sector has expanded rapidly.en
