African economies need more than growth—if they are to transform, they need growth with DEPTH.
The 2014 African Transformation Report draws on ACET’s research program of country, sector, and thematic studies to look systematically at transformation as a broad framework for economic growth and development, introducing the African Transformation Index to help African policymakers see how their countries are transforming and where they stand in relation to their neighbors.
Economic transformation is at the center of Africa’s development agenda, but progress is slow. Too many countries are working in isolation. The solution lies in coming together.
Africa’s development can be powered by a revolution in agriculture. A radical program of reforms can trigger economic transformation far beyond the farming industry.
