What development prospects for industrialisation in Africa?

Apart from the industrial boom of Africa's leading countries - South Africa, and to a lesser extent, Nigeria - south of the Sahara,  the industrialisation process  has been recently promoted by the significance of  foreign investments, especially Chinese ones. A number of challenges - including regional integration, the development of infrastructures, potential synergies with the agricultural sector - seem essential to the global understanding of how to approach industrialisation in the continent.

Former Niger Prime Minister and Executive secretary of NEPAD Ibrahim Assane Mayaki will shed light on these issues and on local, regional and global initiatives supporting industralisation in Africa.
