| description |
Several countries in Southern Africa
have enormous potential to expand trade and mutually benefit
from regional integration, and thus truly achieve
'growth without borders'. At the same time,
several African countries are adopting growth pole
strategies in order to deepen the economic linkages around
the development of their natural resources and improve their
competitiveness and connectivity to domestic and
international markets. This report stems from economic
sector work whose purpose was to identify potential growth
poles across Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and
Zimbabwe in three industries, agribusiness, mining, and
tourism, that might benefit from improved regional
integration. This report used geographic information systems
(GIS) to identify potential growth poles based on the
spatial distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI),
market connectivity, revenue sources, and other input
factors and then selected from that list those areas which
might benefit from regional cooperation. This report
provides background information, elaborates the concepts,
details the spatial analysis framework, selects specific
areas for a rapid assessment, summarizes findings, and
outlines future work. The overarching purpose is not to
explain or quantify the links between identified factors,
but rather to find spatial correlation between factors in
order to begin a discussion about defining a data driven way
of finding suitable regional growth poles. |
