The programme will take place alongside the annual African Programme on Rethinking Development Economics (APORDE) and is a partnership between DLD, APORDE, the DSI/NRF South African Research Chair in Industrial Development (SARChI-ID) and Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS). The theme for the programme is Green Industrialisation in Africa.
The 5-day intensive training course consists of lectures and seminars by leading international and African economists. It is of particular relevance given:
- The slow pace of industrial development on the African continent and the threat of premature deindustrialisation.

- The increasing relevance and need for green industries.
- Challenges in financing green industrial policy.
- Discussions about the most appropriate strategies to advance structural transformation and regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
This FLP/IPPM will cover topics in development economics and industrial policy, with a focus on green industrialisation in Africa. Several lectures will be held jointly with the APORDE programme. The training will include sessions on:
- Greening industrialisation in Africa: a practitioner's view
- The Impact of Climate Change on Industrial Development
- Agriculture, the Industrialisation of Freshness and Industrial Policy
- Financing Green Structural Transformation in Africa
Applications for this programme are now closed.
