Industrializing Through Trade
Abstract
This report examines and provides analysis on the critical elements of
effectively fostering industrialisation and hence structural transformation based on extensive
review of experience with industrialised countries and Africas post-independence attempt at
industrialisation. Ten country case studies were also conducted to shed light on industrialising
through trade. The findings from this exercise inform the policy recommendations contained in this
report.
