Who We Are
A Thought Leader for Africa
Growth with DEPTH
In our view, growth is not enough. Africa must also transform through diversified production, competitive exports, increased productivity, upgraded technology, and improved human well-being.
Growth with DEPTH is a framework developed by ACET that turns transformation from a concept into a practical policy agenda. We have used Growth with DEPTH to help Africa’s public and private sectors address the policy and institutional barriers that hamper sustained growth.
While pursuing improvements in the macroeconomic and business environments, countries have to take the following steps:
D
Diversification
Diversify their production and exports.
E
Export Competitiveness
Become more competitive in global markets.
P
Productivity Increases
Increase the productivity of farms, firms, and government offices.
T
Technology Upgrades
Upgrade the technology they use throughout the economy.
H
Human Well-Being
Ultimately, growth should improve livelihoods by providing more productive jobs and higher incomes.
