    Zambia

    Three of sub-Saharan Africa’s central
    economic realities motivate this study. First, agriculture
    is the most important sector in most African economies, on
    average accounting for nearly one-fourth of GDP. Second, the
    private sector is increasingly active in transforming
    African agriculture and economies. By 2030, agriculture and
    agribusiness are anticipated to become a US$ 1 trillion
    industry in Africa, delivering more jobs, income, and

    Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique

    This report summarizes the key themes
    and findings from three in-depth case studies of EET
    programs in Ghana, Kenya, and Mozambique. Each case study
    produced rich information on the programs context, the
    landscape of programs in each country, and the qualitative
    insights from local EET stakeholders. This report
    synthesizes information from across the case studies to
    analyze the extent to which these countries programs are

    Africa

    Regional trade in Africa can play a
    vital role in diversifying economies and reducing dependence
    on the export of a few mineral products, in delivering food
    and energy security, in generating jobs for the increasing
    numbers of young people, and in alleviating poverty and
    promoting a shared prosperity. Women play a key role in
    trade in Africa and will be essential to Africa's
    success in exploiting its trade potential. In many countries

    Mauritania

    Real gross domestic product (GDP)
    expanded by 6.7 percent in 2013, a modest deceleration from
    the 7 percent recorded in the previous year, but well above
    the average 4.9 percent rate of growth recorded over the
    last ten years. The economy benefited from strong growth in
    the agriculture (rebounding from last year's drought),
    mining and services sectors, which largely offset weaker
    activity in fishing activity. A continuation of these

    Tanzania

    Tanzania is largely an agriculture-based
    economy. This sector accounts for over three-quarters of
    national employment, and approximately 25 percent of gross
    domestic product (GDP). The national agricultural input
    voucher scheme (NAIVS) is a market smart input subsidy
    program designed in response to the sharp rise in global
    grain and fertilizer prices in 2007 and 2008. The main aim
    of the program is to raise maize and rice production, and

    Mozambique

    Agriculture and fisheries are the main pillars of Mozambique's economy, having contributed in the last few years to more than 25 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and around 7 to 11 percentage points of the rate of economic growth. Agricultural development in Mozambique has been part of the government agenda because it is crucial to reducing poverty within rural zones.

    Sierra Leone

    This First Phase Report on Sierra Leone
    growth poles is the result of a 9 months consultative
    process led by the Office of the President which
    specifically requested that the output of this diagnostic be
    in an engaging format. The fundamental concept of growth
    poles is that they exploit agglomeration economies and
    spillover effects to spread resulting prosperity from the
    core of the pole to the periphery. At the basis of this

    Zambia

    Zambia shares its robust economic growth
    and capital inflows in the past few years with other
    Sub-Saharan countries, growth supported by high commodity
    prices that while declining are still at historical high
    levels. High commodity prices have induced large foreign
    direct investment (FDI) flows, mainly in extractive
    industries but also in services sector, supporting growth.
    Zambia's mining sector has benefited from FDI,

    There is now broad consensus among
    policymakers that social protection is a powerful way to
    fight poverty and promote inclusive growth. This
    international consensus is most clearly articulated in the
    African Union's Social Policy Framework (SPF), which
    was endorsed by all African heads of state in 2009. The SPF
    explains that social protection includes 'social
    security measures and furthering income security; and also

    Household enterprises -- usually
    one-person-operated tiny informal enterprises -- are a
    rapidly growing source of employment in Sub-Saharan Africa,
    especially in lower-income countries. Household enterprises
    tend to operate with limited interest or support from
    governments. This is the case in Mozambique, where neither
    the poverty reduction strategy nor small and medium
    enterprise development policies include household
