Africa’s Natural ResourcesAfrica’s Natural Resources• Agriculture

– Contributes 40% of African GDP, but largest user of scarce water– Provides livelihood for 60% of population;– But, agri-commodities exported without processing (beneficiation)

• Minerals– World’s top producer of numerous mineral commodities;– Has world’s greatest resources of many more;– But exported as ores, concs, metals: Need > beneficiation.

• Energy– Significant fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal) – Large biomass and bio-fuels potential (ethanol, bio-diesel)– Massive hydro-electric potential (Inga 45GW, Congo River 200GW)

• Forestry– 22% of African land is forested (650m hectares= 17% of world total);– Deforestation: Africa’s net change highest globally = -0.78% p.a;– Huge silviculture potential, but exported as logs/chips: need > bene.

• Fishing– Decline in catch rate (international poaching! Over-harvesting);– 68% of marine protected areas under threat;– Aquaculture/mariculture still nascent (large potential)

• Tourism– Major potential (world’s greatest diversity: culture, flora, fauna,

geomorphology) – Increasingly important source of livelihood

Current Constraints to Zimbabwe’s Economic Recovery

• Low savings and investment• Banking system not fully globally

accepted = high transaction costs• Distorted and temporary monetary system• Restricted global markets access due to

political situation• Skills gap due to brain drain and

maintenance of quality of education

Resource-based African Development Strategy

RADSRADS

Prospects for Diaspora participation in Economic Recovery

• More systematic inflow of Diaspora savings and investment – Incentives

• Skills repatriation and reintegration• Technology transfer to replace outdated and obsolete

plant, and for new ventures• Promotion of Zimbabwe’s products/services on global

markets, e.g., tourism• Frog leap certain high potential industries/sectors to

global best practice standards– Organic agriculture and value-added products– Renewable energy and general green economy– Refurbish the schools and offer services to the region

• Facilitate full participation of Zimbabwe in regional and multi-lateral development support programmes

The prices of metals have increased spectacularly, whilst

Initially based on transport routes, the corridors are critical to the achievement of the region's economic and political objectives.
