The meeting was held at ECA Headquarters, Addis Ababa, from 9-13 November 1981. The Seminar was officially opened by Mr. Marc Manirakiza, Deputy Executive Secretary of the ECA.
The seminar focused on industrial entrepreneurship because it had a lot of advantages including the potential which manufacturing offers in increases in output due to technological improvements; manufacturing, also resulted in reduction of economic costs which was vital for Africa1s vulnerable economy which was largely dependent on the export of primary commodities. Manufacturing was also characterized by economies of large scale production and created more opportunities for employment and product diversification. He felt that the problems of Small Scale Entrepreneurs merited special consideration in view of the importance of this sector as the primary training ground Tor the indigenous entrepreneurial sector.
