ACET’s research program is built around Transformation Studies, a focused analysis of the economic transformation of African countries and emerging economies. By economic transformation, we mean: high economic growth and structural transformation driven by increases in domestic savings, productivity, technological capability, international competitiveness and economic diversification – hallmarks of sound economies that foster job creation and shared prosperity.
This research and analytical work aims to promote debate, bring analysis and data to inform the debate, and spur action by policy makers and private sector actors on economic transformation in Africa. It also provides an informed basis for our advisory engagements. Our current research work is organized by:
- Drivers of Economic Transformation
- FDI inflows in Africa: Trends, Sources, and Sector Distribution
- Export Promotion Policies and Strategies in Africa
- Education and Skills Development
- Infrastructure
- Sub-Sector Studies
- Textiles
- Agro Processing Studies
