Strategy for the implementation of the plan of action for the accelerated industrial development of Africa

Abstract

The document outlines the African Union's strategy for implementing the Plan of Action for the Accelerated Industrial Development of Africa (AIDA). It focuses on seven key programme clusters: industrial policy, production and trade capacity, infrastructure and energy, skills development, innovation and technology, financing, and sustainable development. The strategy aims to address supply-side constraints, enhance industrial competitiveness, and promote sustainable economic growth across the continent. It includes specific projects and actions to be implemented at national, regional, and continental levels, with a focus on creating a conducive environment for industrial development, upgrading production capacities, and leveraging Africa's natural resources responsibly.
