World Bank's Industrial Policy Advice for Africa Questioned
Original: The World Bank, Industrial Policy, and Africa by Dr Fikayo Akeredolu If you are an African policymaker/technocrat/leader
Dr Fikayo Akeredolu examines three decades of World Bank development advice to Africa and its impact on industrial policy. Writing for African policymakers and technocrats, the piece argues the Bank's prescriptions contradict its own historical findings, a revelation described as shocking for those who have followed its guidance since the 1990s.
Why now: Ongoing debate over whether World Bank prescriptions have hindered African industrialisation.
