Dekarbonisierung des afrikanischen Verkehrssektors: Der Fall Sansibar (EN)

This case study discusses the role of coordinated investment promotion and regional value chains in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), specifically highlighting the proposed Pan-African Trade and Investment Agency and the potential for growth in the automotive sector.

• The AfCFTA's Investment Protocol proposes the creation of a Pan-African Trade and Investment Agency to support member states and the private sector. This agency is intended to mobilize financial resources, encourage business growth, and provide technical assistance for investment promotion and facilitation, while also helping countries develop investment policies that increase exports.
• To successfully implement the AfCFTA and increase intra-African trade, Africa must scale up the production of complex goods, as most countries currently export commodities like crude oil, copper, or peanuts. This transition requires both domestic and foreign investment to improve capital, knowledge, and capabilities.
• Regional value chains are presented as a strategy for industrialization, allowing countries with complementary production structures to act as supply and demand markets for a finished product. Priority value chains identified by the UNDP, African Union, and European Union include pharmaceuticals, textiles and apparel, and automotives.
• The automotive industry is highlighted as a prime candidate for coordinated investment promotion, with a valuation of $30.44 billion in 2021 and a projected value of $42.06 billion by 2027. Countries with advantages in this value chain include Ghana, Kenya, Botswana, Tunisia, Morocco, and South Africa.
• Coordinated investment promotion based on sector priorities and regional value chains is suggested as a more feasible approach than broad coordination across all 54 member states. This targeted method helps align continental aspirations with national interests and can create agglomeration economies, attracting skilled specialist labor and improving transportation networks.
