The sheer magnitude of urban growth on the continent and its impact on the three dimensions of sustainable development, sustainable urbanization lies at the heart of the continent’s transformative development agenda. The rapid urbanization occurring in Africa presents strong opportunities for urbanization to be redefined and developed in a sustainable, inclusive, gender and culturally sensitive manner. (...) Poor urban infrastructure only exacerbates this challenge, hindering municipal transportation, waste removal, communication and electricity services. To keep pace with rapid urbanization in Africa there needs to be strengthened capacity for planning, revenue generation and collection, financial governance and, data gathering and analysis. (...) Poverty and urban inequalities in African cities remain close to the highest in the world, with vulnerable populations and marginalized groups, especially women and youth, greatly affected by the complex challenges associated with rapid urban growth. Experience shows, however, that a combination of providing equitable and better services alongside adequate mobility can effectively address the issues stemming from the widening rural-urban divide and contribute to effectively manage urban growth.

Africa’s rapid urbanization can drive industrialization, says new UN report
Africa’s rapid urbanization can drive industrialization, says new UN report
View Larger Image
A United Nations report out Thursday makes concrete recommendations on how the right African policy framework can harness the continent’s rapid urban transition to drive industrial development.
(...) To foster enhanced growth and poverty eradication, African countries should put in place industrial policies that will generate the skilled jobs and productivity gains needed for the structural transformation of their economies.”
Pointing out that by 2035, half of the continent’s population will be urban, compared to just one third in 1990, ‘Industrialization and Urbanization for Africa’s Transformation’ also provides an opportunity to discuss the challenges of industrialization and structural transformation on the continent and for Eastern Africa, in particular.
(...) Despite a weak structural transformation process, the long-term growth outlook remains promising in Eastern Africa.

The rapid development of FTAs:
Challenges and Opportunities for future multilateral trade negotiations
This session will focus on the implications for the world trading system of the deep transformations it is currently experiencing, in particular the rapid development of free trade agreements (FTAs) around the world, but also other structural changes such as the growing fragmentation of the production internationally and the future place of emerging economies in world trade.
The session will consider the impact of these transformations both on the need for a coherent multilateral trading system and on the ability of the WTO membership to negotiate future multilateral agreements.
