The Policy Framework for Greening Industrialization in Africa

Chapter 3 laid out the concepts, tools and thinking underlying Africa’s industrialization and the pathway to make the process green and inclusive. It showed that governments must carve a decisive pathway, working closely with private sector actors—large and small—and civil society to set the direction for long-term investment in the continent’s people and natural assets.

This chapter outlines the broader policy framework within which the shift to greening industrialization is happening, the close congruence of this greening with major regional and global policy directions, and evidence of current progress at the country level.
