dc.descriptionThis report presents an analysis and review of the implementation and results of the SWITCH Africa Green programme in the manufacturing sector. It covers the strategic interventions, results realized, cross-cutting issues, challenges, the lessons learnt, and a set of recommendations. The manufacturing sector is one of the key sectors of the economy in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), accounting for about 11 per cent of total employment and 10 per cent of GDP in 2018. While historically the manufacturing sector has contributed to rapid economic growth and transformation, SSA has experienced a decline in the share of manufacturing sector contribution to GDP from 15 per cent in 1995 to about 10 per cent in 2018, and accounts for only 1 per cent of the global manufacturing value-added. Most countries are undertaking measures to enhance the growth of the manufacturing sector but face challenges including low technological capability, low human capital, high input costs, and low productivity. Environmental challenges include water scarcity and stress.en
