Background paper commissioned by the UNCTAD secretariat for the 2023 edition of the Economic Development in Africa Report
This paper maps the emerging opportunities and challenges for diversification into renewable energy technology value chains and develops a framework that analyses how Morocco can potentially localise and capture value within these supply networks, including leading the building and development of renewable energy technology regional value chains. In doing this, we develop an in-depth country case study and highlights Morocco’s routes to diversification, including opportunities for regional coordination and industrial development. The industrial policy lessons for productive transformation across Africa are discussed based on the empirical and sectoral-specific case studies.
