Africa Competitiveness Report 2000-2001





The World Economic Forum would like to take this opportunity to thank its 
Africa Competitiveness Report 2000-2001 Supporters for their generosity and 
support. 

The first Report, launched in 1998, was received worldwide (and particularly 
in Africa) as a most useful tool since it measures the competitiveness of 
African nations not only among themselves but also in relation to other 
promising emerging markets. Based on the same methodology developed over the 
past 20 years for our widely acclaimed Global Competitiveness Report, the 
Africa Competitiveness Report (ACR) is a singular source of information and 
analysis based on the collection of opinion surveys and hard data. This 
results in a totally unique document which is of great use to both local and 
foreign investors who wish to gain more information on the opportunities and 
changes taking place in Africa. Perhaps even more importantly, the ACR has 
become a reference point in many African nations when it comes to promoting 
public/private sector dialogue on creating national environments conducive to 
attracting foreign investment. 

In order to maintain the momentum the World Economic Forum and the Center for 
International Development (CID) at Harvard University held discussions with 
numerous African political and business leaders on the occasion of our 1999 
Annual Meeting in Davos. It became apparent that the first ACR launched a 
process of African debate on key economic and competitiveness issues which 
should be continued. As such we are engaged in the production of a second 
Report which will be launched at our Southern Africa Economic Summit 2000.

The Africa Competitiveness Report 2000-2001 is now available at Oxford 
University Press.
