Structural Aspects of Manufacturing in Sub-Saharan Africa: Findings from a Seven Country Enterprise Survey

Abstract

This study is an assessment of the findings from the Regional Program on Enterprise Development's (RPED) first round of firm-level surveys in Burundi, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. These surveys cover a wide range of issues including entrepreneurship, labor markets, technological capabilities, financial markets, infrastructure, regulation and conflict resolution mechanisms. This paper focuses on the analysis of credit and financial markets, technical productivity of African manufacturing enterprises, labor markets, firm growth, the effect of regulations and Africa's competitive position in world markets and constraints to exports.
