The Regional Program on Enterprise
Development (RPED) is designed to examine what specific
factors hinder enterprise development in Africa and what can
be done to mitigate them. RPED is a research initiative
which will collect and analyze a large, varied, and unique
set of data. RPED focuses on four manufacturing sectors
(textile and garment, food, woodworking, and metalworking)
in nine countries (Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana,
Kenya, Burundi, and Rwanda are treated as one data set.
Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are the other countries
involved). The principal objectives of RPED's research
program are: 1) to develop a more precise understanding of
how various elements of the African business environment
influence private enterprise behavior and performance. 2) To
translate the research results into recommendations for more
effective policies and assistance programs for private
enterprise development. 3) To strengthen the analytic
capacity of African institutions. 4) To create the
capability for both donor agencies and African institutions
in the private enterprsie development field to monitor
trends and developments in industrial activity. RPED will
focus on regulatory polies, the principal determinants of
transaction costs, business support agents, the factors that
contribute to or hinder the acquisition of technological
capability, and firms' ressponses to infrastructure deficiencies. |
