Of the countries in our coverage, we see only a handful of economies escaping recession in 2020. • Economic growth in Q2:20 contracted by 6.1% y/y, 3.3% y/y, and 3.2% y/y in Nigeria, Mozambique and Uganda respectively. The Ghanaian economy too contracted by 3.2% y/y in Q2:20, even worse than the 0.4% y/y contraction that we forecast for our bear scenario in the May edition of this publication. • The more diversified economies and those with large subsistence agriculture sectors could post mild, yet positive, growth in 2020. Most East African countries fall into this bracket. Egypt too might also avoid a technical recession this year. • However, Nigeria, Angola, Zambia and even Botswana, being overly reliant on just a few sectors to drive growth, will most likely contract this year. The only question is by how much? • Tourism-dependent economies will take a hit. We still don’t see any meaningful recovery in tourism until a global vaccine is at hand. The weakness in the tourism sector is mostly a BOP problem rather than a growth problem for many African countries. However, the service value chain that relies on a robust tourism sector too, will most likely weigh down growth in these economies.

  • India: an Ideal Partner in Tanzanian Agriculture?
    Journal of Language, Technology & Entrepreneurship in Africa Vol. 4 No. 1 2013 India: An Ideal Partner in Tanzanian agriculture? Darlene K. Mutalemwa [email protected] Mzumbe University, Tanzania. Abstract The agricultural sector is the driving force of the Tanzanian economy. Therefore the need to develop and modernize it is of paramount importance for food production, poverty reduction and growth in other sectors. This paper aims at increasing knowledge and understanding of the contribution of India including its private companies, in Tanzanian agricultural investments, development and transformation. The paper concludes with some final remarks broadly stating that while Tanzania has enormous potential for attracting private investment in agriculture, there are serious constraints to India’s effective engagement in Tanzanian agriculture that include the need for improving the business environment, engaging the Indian Diaspora and increasing public expenditures on drivers of productivity. Key Words: Agriculture, India, Tanzania, Partner Introduction The Necessity for a Green Revolution In the opinion of the late President of Tanzania, J.K. Nyerere, Tanzania needs a Green revolution which has been the cornerstone of India’s agricultural achievement, transforming the country from one of food deficiency to self- sufficiency ( Tanzania National Business Council, 2009: ii): “Because of the importance of agriculture in our development, one would expect that agriculture and the needs of the agricultural producers would be the beginning, and the central reference point of all our economic planning. Instead, we have treated agriculture as if it was something peripheral, or just another activity in the country, to be treated at par with all the others, and used by the others without having any special claim upon them… We are neglecting agriculture.
