OR Tambo Special Economic Zone, & the benefits it presents for economic growth.
Loading player...
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were adopted relatively late in Africa and most African countries did not operationalize their programmes until the 1990s or 2000s.
By 2021, there were 203 operating zones on the Continent and a further 73 under development. SEZs are well developed across the continent and are present in 47 of the 54 countries.
Public operated SEZs are the most common model across Africa, accounting for about 42% of the total SEZs, followed by Public-Private-Partnerships (30%). The nature of the zone management (public, private, PPP) does not seem to influence zone performance as previously thought.
