African Center for Economic Transformation (Accra)

Breaking Africa's Dependence on Raw Natural Resources

At the African Transformation Forum (ATF) in Kigali, Rwanda from March 14 to 15, economists, policymakers, investors, and civil society will apply their minds to breaking the dependence of many African countries on raw natural resources. In the African Center for Economic Transformation's 2014 African Transformation Report, Chief Economist Yaw Ansu argues: "Two essentials in economic development are acquiring the capability to produce a widening array of goods and services and choosing which ones to specialize in." More about the African Transformation Forum (ACET) in this BRIEFING.
