Participation of the private sector in the implementation of the programme of the second IDDA

Abstract

The major role played by the private sector in the advanced countries and in the newly industrialized countries and today's fast-growing countries in the process of economic development and industrialization has brought into focus its importance in the search for profound structural transformation of African economies. Indeed, this savior's role of the private sector has been recognized by various African regional development fora. This report draws from three main papers in the areas of private sector and industrial development. These include: Report of Survey on Development of Industrial Entrepreneurship in Africa; Strengthening of the role and capabilities of indigenous agents of production and distribution for accelerated implementation of IDDA objectives; Notes on the private sector development and privatization in Africa.
