HEC Africa Days 2021 - Green Industrialization in Africa

Professor Carlos Lopes, High Representative of the Commission of the African Union since 2018, Thione NIANG, Founder of JeufZone Farms and Nicholas Norbrook, Managing Editor at The Africa Report discuss about green industrialization on the African continent.

Green industrialization seems to be a way forward for Africa: “It is the precondition for sustainable and inclusive growth,” highlights the Economic Report on Africa 2016: Greening Africa’s Industrialization, published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa(ECA). African policymakers have been responsive, and "green industrialization" is emerging as “the Holy Grail” of socio-economic transformation on the continent. The introduction of green initiatives in value chain activities from sourcing and processing raw materials to marketing and selling finished products to customers, can address economic stagnation.
