The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis has generated a global recession that has been unprecedented since the Great Depression that began in 1929, with a decline in global GDP estimated at 4.4% by the International Monetary Fund in 2020. North Africa (excluding Libya) is expected to register a loss of 3.6% in 2020, against a gain of 1.9% in 2019.

The impact of this crisis has been even more significant on the employment front, since North Africa had already been suffering from low job-generating growth and endemic unemployment (12% in 2019), especially among young people (30%). Projections for 2020 differ from country to country, but the average unemployment rate for the subregion is expected to exceed 15%.

The socioeconomic impact of the pandemic will remain important. It appears that the health crisis is not yet over, and North African economies are relying on sectors that may suffer from long-lasting repercussions, such as tourism (Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia) and hydrocarbons (Algeria and the Sudan). The crisis is undermining already fragile public finances, with significant budget deficits in some countries (9.6% in Algeria, 8.1% in Egypt and 10.8% in the Sudan in 2019) and fast-growing debt.

Towards a forced structural transformation

Beyond its short-term impact, the crisis will have medium- and long-term consequences that will be difficult to handle. North Africa was already suffering from a slowdown in per capita GDP growth and slow structural transformation, which has made only a weak contribution to productivity growth and job creation. The crisis is having an asymmetric and lasting impact on some sectors, thus leading to a forced structural transformation that is complicated by North Africa’s structural weaknesses.

Furthermore, North African countries are subjected to the tyranny of emergencies, as they face the short-term economic and social consequences of the crisis, while also planning for a medium-term economic rebound in an uncertain world that is undergoing changes – such as the acceleration of digitization and climate change – that will require a profound overhaul of development models.

The digital revolution must not to be missed

Digitization is both a threat to and an opportunity for North African and developing countries. It is a threat because the potential for job destruction is very high – some studies estimate that nearly 50% of existing jobs in North Africa are threatened. However, it is also an opportunity because digital technology can promote job creation, facilitate State modernization and increase public policy efficiency. Digitization also provides multiple applications that can help to solve economic development problems more efficiently and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.[1]

North Africa must not miss the digital revolution. Doing so would put the subregion at risk of falling behind and make it much more difficult to catch up with global trends later on. The subregion must therefore invest heavily in digital infrastructure, strengthen its technological capacities and unleash its innovation potential.

We understand the complexity of the situation governments are faced with, as they need to allow for the absorption of short-term shocks while limiting losses in development gains, reducing their vulnerabilities and preparing their countries for the post COVID-19 world. That balancing act is complicated on the one hand by the magnitude of the shock, which makes it necessary to carry out short- and medium-term reforms in many areas and to mobilize significant resources. On the other hand, the way out of the crisis must be rooted in a medium- to long-term vision, which therefore makes it necessary to design public policies that bring coherence to responses to both short-term and medium-term challenges. In fact, what we are witnessing is not a simple economic shock, but rather a deep crisis that will generate a profound transformation in production and consumption patterns.

In this situation, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) stands alongside its member States.

Key ECA initiatives on financing, pharmaceuticals and digitization

ECA has launched three key initiatives in support of economic recovery in Africa. The first is the creation of a liquidity and sustainability facility, a specialized fund through which ECA can support vulnerable emerging markets and vulnerable sovereign funds which do not favour sustainable development initiatives. The more immediate goal is to facilitate access to liquidity, loans and investments in those countries.

The second initiative focuses on health issues, with a call for expressions of interest aimed at African pharmaceutical manufacturers for the production of 107 maternal and child health products and other essential health products, with a view to increasing access to affordable and reliable supplies of quality-assured drugs. This effort is expected to increase the region's bargaining power through economies of scale, while centralizing quality assurance. The latter is an essential feature, given that 42% of the fake drugs that were seized between 2013 and 2017 around the world were found in Africa.[2]

Finally, the third initiative focuses on digitization, through the ECA Centre of Excellence for Digital Identity, Trade and Economy, which works hard to help African countries to address the challenges that confront them, and to use digital development to promote inclusive and sustainable growth and transform African economies and societies.

The thirty-fifth meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Senior Officials and Experts for North Africa, held on 17 November under the theme “COVID-19: recovery policies and strategies for North Africa” provided an opportunity for ECA teams and our national partners to identify the priorities of member States, with a view to achieving rapid, sound and sustainable economic recovery in North Africa.

ECA launches new report on extractive sector governance

eskinder.tsegaye — Sat, 31 Oct 2020 00:57:41 +0000

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 30^th October 2020 (ECA) – Sudan’s Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok, and Economic Commission for Africa’s (ECA) Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe, on Friday launched a new publication that proposes actions that need to be put in place to stem Illicit Financial Flows leakages before they leave Africa’s shores. The Report notes that once the resources leave Africa, getting them back involves a complicated process requiring capacities often in short supply in African countries. Furthermore, the speed and ease of loss across national boundaries, easily breach Africa’s national financial security defense lines. This trend, states the Report, must be halted.

The Report, titled; Institutional Architecture to Address Illicit Financial Flows from Africa, was launched during a high-level roundtable convened by UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed on the theme: Extractive Industries as an Engine for Sustainable Development: The Case of Africa.

The analysis builds on efforts by the African Union the Economic Commission for Africa, academia and civil society institutions to stem the illicit outflows of $50 billion a year, a conservative estimate posited in the 2015 report of the High-Level Panel on IFFs, led by President Thabo Mbeki. The loss, notes the report, is worth three quarters of the estimated health financing gap of $66 billion a year for Africa to make significant progress on SDG 3 on good health and well-being.

“As Sudan, we welcome the report and call for collective actions to promote good governance in our extractive sector. The sector is significant and can go a long way in helping countries mobilize resources to fund sustainable development on our continent,” said Prime Minister Hamdok.

“Sudan is in a new phase of reorganizing and the extractive sector challenges are not lost on the transition government. I invite governments to consider the recommendations in this report,” he added.

For her part, Ms. Songwe said that ECA stands ready to continue working with member States to come up with policy recommendations that can help curb illicit financial flows in all their forms from the continent.

Ms. Mohammed said Africa’s extractive industries, if properly exploited, could be a means to achieve the SDGs and the African Union’s Agenda 2063, the Africa we Want.

“The Continent needs to ask itself - in a post COVID-19 world, how can extractives create clean and gender responsive jobs; how can countries run a green energy transition and use extractives to propel us towards a low emission and resilient future… enable good governance and benefit local communities,” she stressed.

The online high-level round-table was convened to discuss current and emerging trends in the extractive industries sector with a focus on Africa to determine how extractive industries can be a catalyst for sustainable development in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Agreement on climate change.

The event attracted high-level participants, including the Chairperson of the African Union, Mr. Moussa Faki, Ministers, experts from private sector, academia and think tanks and representatives and civil society organizations.

Participants discussed emerging trends in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for the future of the industry; combating illicit financial flows and how to further enhance tax systems, governance and transparency in the sector; and measures needed to align extractive industries with the sustainable development goals, especially on gender and climate change.

The renewAfrica Initiative presented to EVP Timmermans

eskinder.tsegaye — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 19:33:45 +0000

The EVP recognises renewAfrica and European Green Deal as aligned and welcomes the work done by the Initiative

The renewAfrica Initiative was today presented to Mr Frans Timmermans, the European Commission’s Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal. By the end of the meeting, which saw the participation of CEOs and high-level representatives of 18 of the most important international companies and organisations active in the renewable energy sector, EVP Timmermansappreciated that the Initiative is in line with the green ambitions of the European Commission and welcomed the work of renewAfrica so far as a positive contribution to the EU’s Comprehensive Strategy with Africa.

The renewAfrica Initiative has been structured to implement PPPs, so to create a level playing field for European industry and investors. In this regard, the Initiative will contribute to add value to existing European financial instruments, so to mobilise the scale of public and private capital necessary to the creation of a pipeline of sustainable and bankable renewable energy projects in Africa. renewAfrica stems from the need of an EU-led programme that should offer end-to-end support along the entire project cycle, assist with high-level policy dialogue, provide technical assistance to national governments, and offer financial de-risking and capacity building measures. For the programme to be fully effective, it should avoid limitations in terms of the supported technology, geographical area and size of the project, thus mobilising private capital and unlocking bankable renewable energy projects across Africa. renewAfrica’s task forces have elaborated a proposal, identifying possible pilot countries, outlining a set of technical assistance services, and elaborating a financial package to cover the major investments risks. The Initiative has now reached the point where it can contribute to the EU green diplomacy objectives in Africa.

“We are very proud to present today the result of the effort carried out since the launch of renewAfrica Initiative, gathering the contribution of the players of the European renewable industry” explains Antonio Cammisecra, President of the renewAfrica Initiative, “We believe that a programme as innovative as renewAfrica can play its role in the process towards the sustainable economic development in Africa, in accordance with the European vision of a more inclusive and just future”.

“There is enormous growth potential in Africa, and access to energy will be a major factor in determining the speed and fairness of this growth. Today, wind or solar technologies can generate electricity at historically low costs and can often be deployed at a local level, without needing extensive grids that span large distances. It is great see the private sector embrace promising opportunities for investments, innovation and development in Africa. With the Africa Europe Green Energy Initiative, as part of the EU’s new Strategy with Africa, we want to help deliver more sustainable energy and match the growing energy needs of Africa” comments Frans Timmermans, EVP of the European Commission.

Driven by the fast demographic and economic growth, Africa’s energy demand is rapidly increasing; yet, some 600 million people in the continent still do not have access to electricity. Renewables today represent the fastest and cheapest way of satisfying energy needs; however, while global installed RES generation capacity more than doubled in the last decade, only 2% of new generation was installed in Africa. Universal electricity access requires an increase of $120 billion investments per year up to 2040, and classic public financing channels will not suffice in mobilising such capital. So far, various kinds of barriers have limited the continent’s attractiveness in the eyes of international private investors, thus slowing its progress with the renewable energy transition. Moreover, a very good range of European financing instruments exist in the market; however, many of them are characterised by fragmentation in terms of support offered, reducing their effectiveness in achieving the expected impact.

The ultimate aim of the renewAfrica Initiative is to support African countries in achieving access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. Moreover, renewables will be fundamental in creating a new, sustainable and carbon-neutral economy leapfrogging polluting technologies. But far from just providing power and cutting emissions, Africa’s renewable energy potential also provides the opportunity to create decent jobs, boost industrialisation, kick-off a broader and more inclusive socio-economic growth, and support countries in meeting their commitments on the Sustainable Development Goals as well as the Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.

“Based on current trends, we are not on track to achieve universal and sustainable electricity access by 2030, especially in Africa. This must concern us all. Stakeholders are willing to close the gap, and new technologies and demographic changes can foster it. A common path to meet SDG7 is necessary and renewAfrica represents a step forward” adds Francesco Starace, CEO of Enel and Chair of SEforALL.

Launched in June 2019 in Rome by the RES4Africa Foundation, renewAfrica is backed by 27 stakeholders* from across the European renewable energy value chain, and has also established a robust dialogue with African governments and institutions such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union, and has been endorsed by, among others, Vera Songwe, Under-Secretary General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of UNECA, and Romano Prodi, former President of the European Union.

“Initiatives such as renewAfrica and the ECA’s SDG7 Initiative can leverage the enabling support of trusted development partners such as the EU to provide de-risking instruments that can deliver transformative private sector finance to drive clean energy investments for access and climate response in Africa, including support for innovative business models for bringing private capital to support public investments in transmission and distribution. In return, African countries need to do their bit by ensuring that the needed policies and regulatory frameworks are in place to attract the needed finance” concludes Vera Songwe, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa.

*The Signatories of the Declaration of Intent are: AFRY, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, COFIDES, DNV GL, EDFI, EDP Renewables, Enel Green Power, Enercon, European Investment Bank, FMO, GE Renewable Energy, GWEC, Intesa Sanpaolo, Nordex, Nordic Energy Research, Norfund, Prysmian, PwC, RES4Africa Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDA Bocconi, Siemens Gamesa, SMA, SolarPower Europe, Soltec, Vestas, Wind Europe.

Ethiopian President calls for modern African statistical systems for effective policy and decision-making

Minilik.Demissie — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 08:54:41 +0000

Addis Ababa, October 13, 2020 (ECA) – The seventh meeting of the Statistical Commission for Africa (StatCom7) opened virtually on Tuesday with a clarion call from Ethiopia’s President Sahle-Work Zewde for Africa to urgently transform and modernize its national statistical systems, especially in light of the continuing novel coronavirus pandemic.

In her remarks, President Zewde stressed the need for African governments to provide more support and budgets for modernizing national statistical offices for evidence-based planning and decision-making.

“The transformation of national statistical systems in Africa is more important now than ever before as we fight against the pandemic and as we look to build stronger and better systems. Therefore, access to technology by national statistical systems must be promoted in all African countries in view of accelerating the production and use of data and statistics as public good,” she said.

She stressed the need for sustainable budgets for national statistical offices to enable them to provide quality data; and also invited development partners “to support the efforts of governments to modernize the national statistical offices, which includes digitalization.”

She said national statistical offices on the continent should provide appropriate quality data to support continental initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for informed and effective planning.

The President shared Ethiopia’s efforts in modernizing its national statistical systems and noted that the importance of national statistical systems has become more evident during the pandemic due to the role they play in providing essential data, statistical services and information in understanding the impact and reach of COVID-19.

For her part, ECA Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe echoed the President’s call to modernize Africa’s statistical systems, stating:

“A lot more can be done with technology through our national statistical offices to improve data collection as well as the quality. If we cannot measure, we cannot manage; we cannot plan and we cannot design policy. At a time when resources are scarce, data is key to designing and implementing the right polices.”

Digitalizing Africa's national statistical systems, she added, is crucial if the Continent is to move forward from the multifaceted impacts of COVID-19.

She also underscored that during this Decade of Action, the ECA and other UN agencies will continue to work with member States to ensure quality statistics and data that they agree on are produced through common data bases and platforms.

She also highlighted the importance of censuses in providing vital information, adding the ECA will continue to work with member States on rebasing the GDPs of the continent to understand and help reform the system of national accounts.

The Director UN Statistics Division, Stefan Schweinfest for his part said COVID-19 is an opportunity for Africa to modernize its national statistical systems and start using new alternative data sources. “Use of new data sources and new technologies can make statistical operations more cost effective and provide timelier, more frequent outputs,” he said.

The Chair of the Bureau of the StatCom Africa, Ms. Albina Chuwa, who is also the Director-General of Tanzania’s National Bureau for Statistics, emphasized the need for the production of accurate data and effective use of statistics in evidence-based policymaking.

“We need numbers to measure our developmental processes. To see the inclusive growth we are talking about in Agenda 2030 for sustainable development and the Africa we want in Agenda 2063, it’s crucial that we produce the numbers to inform our policymaking and decisions,” she said.

The theme of the StatCom7 is: “Developing regional solutions to enhance the resilience of African national statistical systems to meet the need for data during the Decade of Action in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic”.

In the context of Agenda 2030 and the Agenda 2063, the meeting will provide an opportunity for the African Statistical System to take stock of ongoing global initiatives and seek ways to mainstream ownership of new or updated methodologies, aiming at enhancing Member States’ statistical capacities.

Participants include representatives from national, sub-regional, regional and international organizations; NGOs; academia and research institutions; and the private sector.

ECA, Smart Africa & Future State launch Africa Data Leadership Initiative

eskinder.tsegaye — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 22:38:22 +0000

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, October 6, 2020 (ECA) – The Economic Commission for Africa raised the flag on data governance Tuesday by jointly launching the Africa Data Leadership Initiative (ADLI) with Future State and Smart Africa, creating safe space for policymakers, digital rights experts and entrepreneurs to learn together.

The ADLI is a peer network designed for and by African policymakers, consumer rights advocates, and private sector stakeholders to ensure the data economy drives equitable growth and social progress across the continent.

The tripartite partnership is creating a peer learning and exchange network in pursuit of three interrelated and interdependent goals:

Creating a dynamic “safe space” in which African policymakers, digital rights experts, and entrepreneurs can learn together and from each other, collaboratively problem solve, and share experiences;
Building a strong base of expertise across the continent to safely unlock the value of data for prosperity and social advancement; and
Contributing to broader initiatives like the African Union-led framework for an African Data Governance Agenda to build a comprehensive data policy for the continent.

Leveraging Smart Africa’s and ECA’s existing platforms, the organisations will promote the peer network among their constituents and solicit input to the data governance issues interrogated through the peer network.

In her remarks during the launch, ECA Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe, said the ADLI was yet another stone in the edifice of trying to push data and ICT transformation on the continent.

“If we do not find ways of closing the inequality gaps on our continent, we will end up with an even more unequal society which is unstable and may lead to political and civil unrest undermining the recovery” she said in reference to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.

Ms. Songwe said ICT and digital transformation is everybody’s business and value creation that exists in the ICT sector was crucial for wealth creation and a more prosperous Africa.

“To catch up to the rest of the world and leave no one behind, we must invest quickly, faster and at scale in infrastructure, in particular in digital technology,” she said, adding ICT and digital transformation was everybody's business.

“The ICT ministers may be the custodian, but we need all stakeholders - health, education, the private sector and civil society to generate value,” added the ECA Chief.

Ms. Amani Abou-Zeid is the Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy at the African Union Commission (AUC). She said since 2015 the AUC and ECA had co-hosted high-level meetings on data which showed how accurate and timely data can help address the continent’s socio-economic challenges.

“Our eyes are very much on how we recover better and smarter in the aftermath of COVID-19 and technology will definitely help us do that,” she said, adding safety and security were crucial going forward to ensure Africa’s data is not abused.

For his part, Jean-Philbert Nsengimana of Future State, said; “At Future State we believe that a balanced data governance framework should satisfy a number issues, including participation. This is about leaving no-one behind from the opportunities and prosperity that the data economy promises.”

The data economy, he said, is a competitive landscape that thrives through offering people maximum choice, adding trust that is built through openness, transparency, accountability, safety and security was also crucial in this field.

For his part, Lacina Koné, Director General and CEO of Smart Africa, said in emerging African economies, data protection was crucial and should start with the building of secure infrastructure.

He said access to trustworthy and accurate data was vital for Africa's development.

“In order to increase the use and value derived from data, capacities to make smart use of available data must be enhanced on the African continent both in the public and private sectors. Infrastructure for this data circulation must be development,” said Mr. Koné.

SMART Africa is a bold and innovative commitment from African Heads of State and Government to accelerate sustainable socioeconomic development on the continent, ushering Africa into a knowledge economy through affordable access to Broadband and usage of Information and Communications Technologies.

Future State is a neutral, non-profit initiative of the United Nations Foundation that undertakes high-impact research and facilitates the transformations necessary for all people to benefit from the data economy. It advocates for the rights and aspirations of people in the digital era.

Saving lives and money through the Africa Medical Supplies Platform

chicho.ernest — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 01:35:01 +0000

Addis Ababa, 17 September 2020 - The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) on September 17, jointly held a high-level webinar for Ministers of Finance and Ministers of Health to showcase the Africa Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP).

AMSP is a digital platform intended to serve as a consolidated online marketplace to facilitate the provision of COVID-19-related medical products by addressing supply chain issues such as shortages, delays in distributing supplies, accessibility, quality standards and affordability.

The platform is a timely intervention, catalyzed by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, set up to specifically respond to the pandemic that so far has claimed about seven thousand lives on the continent while infecting 1.3 million others. On the platform, countries can access quality, affordable PPEs, Test Kits, medicines and other related commodities.

This meeting is the third in a series, preceded by the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) webinars held on August 14 and September 04 2020 respectively. The main objective of these webinars has been to sensitize, advocate and showcase the opportunities offered by AMSP, including in terms of creating fiscal space, growing local manufacturing, and reaping the early fruits of the AfCFTA.

AMSP aims at operationalizing and fostering the primary objectives of the AfCFTA-anchored Pharmaceutical Initiative of ensuring access to safe and affordable quality medicines in Africa, through pooled procurement and capacitating local production for improved health outcomes.

In her opening remarks COMESA Secretary General, Her Excellency Chileshe Kapwepwe acknowledged the value of AMSP especially as it complements their own efforts such as establishing COVID-19 guidelines to move supplies across the continent, ensuring uninterrupted supply of life-saving PPEs, Test kits, and medicines.

The AMSP website is currently live and is showing good results only weeks after it was launched. Fatoumata Ba, of Janngo Capital operating the platform and representative of Africa Union Special Envoy, Strive Masiyiwa, reports that there is keen interest by suppliers and manufacturers in Africa and across the globe to provide their products on the platform. She said the platform has already built up stocks of critical medical equipment above initial quantity estimates and below target sourcing prices from world class manufacturers.

ECA’s Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe, pointed out that AMSP is “already saving lives and money on the continent.” She urged ministers in charge of health and finance to “ramp up COVID-19 testing through procuring antigen test kits available on the platform,” especially as countries strive to reopen their economies.

Africa CDC director John Nkengasong re-affirmed the need to approach COVID-19 holistically as the high number of deaths has been worsened by existing endemic diseases such as HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. He further impressed the need to step up the testing. By rolling antigen tests, Africa CDC has committed to 20 million tests by end of October 2020.

“This platform truly offers an opportunity to continue to engage in a spirited fight using commodities (that exist on the platform ) to tackle COVID-19” said Mr. Nkengasong.

Many countries have already joined the platform and so have several reputable African suppliers and manufacturers. Ba, presenting on behalf of Masiyiwa, spoke to a key component of the online platform which is ensuring adequate quantity and quality of products. To that end, the initiative onboards manufactures with certifications from stringent global institutions such as the United States of America Food and Drug Administration, the British National Health Service NHS, Canada Health, African Medicine Agency and the World Health Organization for quality assurance.
