    The African Growth and Opportunity Act JULY 2013 An Empirical Analysis of the Possibilities Post-2015 Africa Growth Initiative at BROOKINGS Acknowledgements: The report, “The African Growth and Opportunity Act: An Empirical Analysis of the Possibilities Post-2015,” has been prepared by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) at the Brookings Institution, under the leadership of Carlos Lopes, ECA’s executive secretary. The report has been written by Simon Mevel, from ECA, and Zenia Lewis and Anne Kamau, from AGI, under the overall guidance and supervision of Stephen Karingi, ECA’s director of the Regional Integration and Trade Division, and Mwangi Kimenyi, director of AGI at the Brookings Institution. Post-2015 scenarios were defined by all of the team, while the modeling exercise was undertaken and results interpreted by ECA. About the Africa Growth Initiative: The Brookings Institution’s Africa Growth Initiative brings together African scholars to provide policymakers with high-quality research, expertise and innovative solutions that promote Africa’s economic development. The ini- tiative also collaborates with research partners in the region to raise the African voice in global policy debates on Africa. Our mission is to deliver research from an African perspective that informs sound policy, creating sustained economic growth and development for the people of Africa.

Its mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations for policymakers and the public.

  • Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development
    53rd Session of the Economic Commission for Africa: Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Opening of the session (Agenda Item 1): Africa’s Sustainable Industrialization and Diversification in the digital era in the context of Covid-19 Statement by Ken Ofori-Atta, Minister-Designate for Finance, Ghana Key Takeaways: Placing climate-conscious industrialization and digitalization at the foundation of Africa’s recovery and structural transformation Africa’s industrialization is a good strategy not only for Africa but the World 1 1. Thank you, Chairperson, for giving me the floor to contribute to this timely discussion. 2. This is my “first day back” in office and my first international engagement since returning from a precarious medical treatment after experiencing post-COVID complications. The past few weeks have been surreal, but God has been merciful, and I am grateful to all of you for your prayers. I am also excited to share this panel with good friends to discuss how to fashion robust and climate-conscious industrialization and digitalization agenda for our Continent. 3. Indeed, Africa is at a profound turning point. In 2020, Africa showed remarkable resilience against the odds, effectively curbing the global pandemic's initial wave. Africa’s GDP contracted by 2.1% (African Economic Outlook 2021) compared to a 3.5% contraction in global GDP (World Bank). However, the second wave has depleted our buffers, our economies are contracting, and we are witnessing sharp increases in infections and deaths. These developments are overwhelming our health systems. As a result, the Real GDP in Africa is projected to grow by 3.4% in 2021(African Economic Outlook 2021), compared to the projected global growth of 5.5% (IMF, World Economic Outlook).
