8. African Union Special Economic Zones Model Law Template and Guidelines

Special Economic Zones are a key source of industrial transformation and ecosystem development at the Member States and Regional Economic Communities levels, with a focus on attracting investment, promoting job creation, boosting manufacturing and export performance, increasing indirect economic benefit, and regional value chains development. Most Special Economic Zones laws rely on a set of policy instruments, such as investment incentives and administrative facilitation, to achieve their intended policy objectives, and require law and policy design with consideration of the respective country context as well as broader regional and global economic trends. In this context, an African Union Model Law on Special Economic Zones is proposed to support Member States, especially those at the commencement level of their Special Economic Zones programs. Such proposals consider structures to establish Special Economic Zones law to avoid common mistakes of Special Economic Zones development; provide a minimum baseline standard by which African states can evaluate their readiness to establish Special Economic Zones to attract investment; provide a standard outline on governance, development, and operation of Special Economic Zones; and align Special Economic Zones policy making to overarching industrial development policy within a given country, allowing coherence in policy approach and for regional value chain development.

Minister of Industry Julien Paluku takes part from 20 to 25 November 2022 in the industrialization week of the African Union as a prelude to the extraordinary summit of Heads of State and Government.

In the presence of several ministers including those of industry and economic development and technical and financial partners, Julien Paluku shared the DRC's experience on the development of Special Economic Zones (SES) and the installation process of a first factory for the manufacture of electric battery precursors in the province of Haut-Katanga.

"The DRC is on several projects including that of special economic zones that are already underway but also that of the precursor manufacturing of electric Batteries, we are pleased that these initiatives require the consent of all Africans and the model we presented here is to demonstrate that we have a Master Plan for industrialization that we have already quantified the estimated costs and that we still have the Bloomberg study that was African Renaissance in terms of industrialization, renewal of commitments because of summits, forums have been held but with that of Niger we must renew the commitments to reindustrialize our continent and cease to be the country where both come only to draw raw materials without a added value that we give, "said Julien Paluku in his speech.

And to continue:

"I'm coming back from Indonesia, Indonesia has a gross domestic product of USD 3 trillion while the gross domestic product of the entire Africa area is USD 2.5 billion, this is even a contrast that a country can have a GDP higher than the GDP of an entire continent, this must challenge us as an African so that we now develop public policies that are able to locally transform our raw materials locally and

The go of this week of Industrialization of the African Union was given at the same time as the first African Transformative Women's Summit by the Nigerian Minister of Industry and Youth Entrepreneurship, Gourouza Salamatou. On this occasion, the Nigerien Minister spoke in these terms and recalled the need for African states to really switch to the industrialization of their economies.

"We have competitive advantages that many continents do not have and all these resources are available, we only have to combine our efforts at the African level so that this inclusive industrialization we are talking about is a reality. It is no longer a choice for us but it is about our survival, the economic development of our countries must necessarily go through the industrialization of our continent, that is why we must ensure that our products, that our raw materials that we can develop them and Lee put them on international markets, that we ask our partners to come and establish the manufacturing plants at home, we have the necessary labor, Technology and financial resources we of course rely on our partners to bring them to us," she said.

The theme of these meetings is "Transforming women entrepreneurs, an accelerator of Africa's industrialization process". They are held on the sidelines of the African Union Heads of State and Government summit on Industrialization and Economic Diversification and the AU special session on the ZLECAf.

Five days (from 20 to 25 November 2022) during the participants, from 26 African countries, will discuss several themes, namely: the creation of an instrument to support the organization or management of women at national, regional and continental levels as well as the financing and investment model focused on supporting women in transformation.

Participants will also discuss the creation of a favorable environment for women in transformation and also on the platform for dialogue and lobbying for women in treatment.

Better off having a summit on the elimination of corruption and Chinese infiltration of government throughout Africa. Talk about the cart before the horse! What a faarking joke, I'll be so relieved when we get this ML and I don't have to read this shit every day.

[Remark]

The CAMI website has still not been updated since Wednesday 16th November.

The optimist in me is hoping that FT has put a broom through the old corrupt DG's department & the new staff are learning the ropes to progress the granting of ML's. The pessimist in me is saying "You're a fucking idiot for even partially believing that!"

Still strange that it hasn't been changed....

Now, where are my meds....?

I'm in Brisbane not NZ, if I had to do the Auckland Harbour Bridge I'd be using every ounce of strength I have not to be a poo jogger in that shit hole.

I'll use my South Island knowledge to nominate @Xerof for NZ and he can have the option of either the Lyttleton Tunnel or the Rakaia Bridge

I'll leave it up to @Deboss to carry the QLD mantle over the Storey Bridge but I'll happily drive the Corvette support car for him
