In his welcome address Mr. Kamara on behalf of the Executive Secretary thanked the organizers of the Round-Table for having associated ECA to this important meeting and ensured them of ECA willingness to cooperate in the interest of the implementation of the IOOA-II Programme. He also thanked the Government of Zimbabwe for its hospitality.

He emphasized the fact IOOA-I has not get any success because of many constraints. Nevertheless, based on the last experience, programme of the second IOOA has been properly prepared by national experts and based on national programmes.

Mr. Kamara stated that one of the best ways and means of implementing the Second IODA programme is to organize fora on investment such as this Round-Table where financial institutions and promoters would meet to discuss project documents.

4

He appealed to the African Countries to develop the local savings by allowing a more popular participation in the economic development because the overall responsibility of developing the continent lies with the sons of the continent.

Mr. Kamara finally presented the work programme of ECA relating to the implementation of the programme of IDDA-II and wished a success to the participants for the meeting.

In his address, and on behalf of the Director General of UNIDO, Mr. D. siazon, Mr. Hebga thanked the Government of Zimbabwe and the organizing organizations as well as the participants to the Round-Table. He then briefed the participants on the background and objectives of the Round-Table.

He further indicated that there is a hope through the organization of such fora, the implementation of the programme of the Second IDDA to be a success.

He underlined that well coordinated policies from African Governments would increase the cooperation and integration of the region, consequently the full involvement of indigenous entrepreneurs, specially the private sector, considering the new trends in the privatisation of the African economy.

III. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA AND ORGANIZATION OF WORK

The Round-Table adopted the attached agenda (Annex 2) and the following working hours 9.00-12.30/14.00-18.30.

IV. PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS

1. Pre-requisites for the attraction of Foreign investment: the Investment Climate

Four presentations made by the below lecturers were followed by a discussion:

Mr. C. Gallamin, Director, IFS

Mr. C. Bhdain, Director, Media, Mauritius Mr. N. Nanse, Zimbabwe Investment Centre Dr. O. A. Ajayi, Advisor, CFTC.

It has been indicated that Developing countries are getting only 20 per cent of the world total investment flow, whereas 80 per cent of the investments are flowing towards the North. From the 20 per cent distributed every year, African countries received only 1-2 per cent, because African economc performance is counting very few in the world economy.

6

Five conditions have been highlighted to be used for attracting foreign investment into Africa, namely:

Africans should have self-confidence in themselves because in the development history, there is not any single country in the world, which has been developed only by foreigners or foreign capitals.

setting up of state laws (public law, civil law, fiscal law, without which no enterprise can survive. Here again the problem remains an African one, and the solutions to that problem is pending on Africans themselves.

Economic stability coupled with a practical will.

Training, (technical skills), a new component in the State policy should be to avoid skilled manpower to quit the country by giving them good incentives (wages, salaries, social infrastructures etc.).

Setting up of clear incentives, attracting, favourable to the investment, specially for local population.

7

It has also been emphasized that necessary conditions should come from wi thin the countries themselves. There should be a political stability and peace within the country in order to attract investors into the country.

Some participants were of the opinion that the below conditions are also necessary for attracting foreign investors:

The ready availability of workers;

Quality of workers;

creation of proper infrastructure:

(a) roads;

(b) communication network;

(c) connection with the world;

(d) one step shop (Guichet Unique)

All these conditions should be in a package form.

2. Project Identification. formulation and screening

The introductory statements were made by:

Ms. Monica Carco, OIC Africa, IPS Milan

Mr. H. Ly. Directeur General, SONEPI, senegal Mr. John Ababio, Head, Private Sector Development Unit, ADB

Dr. M. Z. Njolwa, Director of Operation, PTA Bank .

•

_These presentations were followed by a d.LscussLon , The

lecturers presented their institutions to the participants and highlighted the main difficulties they are facing in the investment promotion exercise.

A general consensus come out requesting ABO to focus its efforts on one or two key sectors during 3 to 5 years and make an evaluation of the impact of this project. ADB was requested to work closely with the African investment Promotion centres.

3. Project Promotion (pre-requisites for the promotion of investment projects

The introductory statements were delivered by Mr. W. Garrett Boyd, Director, IPS Washington Mr. A.L.T. Asmani, Acting Director, IPC Tanzania Prof. A. Saied, African Private Entrepreneur Mr. H. Blohm, Vice-president, EDESA, switzerland Mr. J. Ogola, Kenya Delegate, IPS Zurich.

The discussions issued from this item came to the conclusion that Governments should be in the position of reducing non commercial risks to enable a flow of foreign and local investment.

They should create inviting environment including a political engagement in guaranteeing the transfer of profits. The economical

9

environment should be changed (macro to micro economy). Expertise for any industrial duty should be chosen carrefully and foreign investors should be looked at as partners but not as just people Who come to a country to get their money and desappear.

4. Feasibility studies and financing

The next discussion was on the above mentioned subject. The introductory statements were made by:

Mr. T. Izumi, Head, IPS Tokyo Mrs. N.A. Ketevi, CTI, Togo

Mr. K. Williams, Executive Vice-President Europe, Dann and Braedstreet International

Dr. Yahia M. Mahmoud, Adviser to DG, BADEA

Mr. E.Y. Amaizo, Feasibility studies Branch, UNIDO

The participants agreed on the fact that oftentimes more than 50% of the total costs of a project are used for feasibility studies.

Some participating financing institutions like BADEA, PTA Bank, ADB as well as the ECOWAS Fund informed the participants of the possibility of financing feasibility studies. An appeal was forwarded towards international organizations, such as those from the United Nations System to help promoters to get access to the

•

5. Establishment of Network (African IPC's. UNIDO-IID. UNIDO IPS's

The last item was on the setting up of a network comprising African Investment Promotion centres, UNIDO-IID and UNIDO IPS offices. The introductory statements on this item - were made by:

Mr. Abdelmoneim, Senior Investment Advisor, lID, UNIDO Mr. I. Beidari, Director General, FIFPME, Niger

The discussion concluded that the Network will create additional possibility to have projects identified and formulated by African IPC's themselves with the use of the UNIDO methodology and tools. It would provide the added advantage that there would be a continuous flow of a reasonable number of projects to be promoted by UNIDO IPS Offices and lID. Through continuous contacts between focal points in Africa, lID facilitate the organization of degelate's programmes and country presentation tours. The network will also provide possibilities for interaction among African

IPC's.

A large number of the participants recognized the import role

11

The participants were also briefed on the possibilities offered by soft ware, such as the Computer Model for Feasibility Analysis and Reporting (COMFOR) and the project Profile Screening and Pre-Appraisal Information System (PROPSPIN) in the implementation of projects. Short presentations were delivered to the participants on the two above mentioned softwares by UNIDO staff.

V. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERSONS MET

Apart my participation in the whole discussions of the Round- Table, I have got the opportunity to visit the sixth OAU All- Africa Trade Fair. The Fair was very well organized but i t has not achieved the aims i t was supposed to, because most of the economic operators who were representing their countries did not understand the objectives of such a fair. Most of them went to Bulawayo Fair with the intention just to sell the products they had taken to that fair instead of signing contracts for bulk order, discussing joint- venture possibilities with other producers etc. A large number of countries just brought clothes and consumer goods for selling.

Having organized more than five fairs, OAU should be able to attract real businessmen who can put in concrete form business relationships for the development of economic integration of Africa.

Discussions also took place between BADEA representatives namely Dr. Yahia M. Mahmoud, Advisor to the Director General, Dr.

• Sayed Hussein Ahmed, Chief, Programme Division and myself on the possibility of technical cooperation between their institution and ECA. The two representatives informed me that BADEA is providing technical assistance provided the request comes from official Government body or organizations. It finances only the foreign currency required for the technical assistance and offers up to US$300,000-500,000. We carne to the conclusion that I will inform my Chiefs of that possibility and a draft project document will be submitted for their consideration.

Discussions were also held between the representatives of ECOWAS Funds Mr. John Woods and myself. Being informed Mr. Woods on a project aiming at emphasizing part of the development activities of ECOWAS to the development of the private sector, especially the small and medium-scale industries, I raised the question of the possibility of undertaking joint-projects on the development of small-scale industries in Africa. We concluded that our chiefs should be informed of this possibility and further consultations should take place between ECOWAS and ECA for the starting of any eventual cooperation.

13 VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS_

The Round-Table was very useful in the sense that i t has given the possibility to participants to discuss the definition of legislative, administrative, fiscal financial frameworks to establish an enabling environment for the attraction of direct foreign investment. Participants have been informed of the establishment of a network of investment promotion focal points in Africa, UNIDO-Industrial Investment Promotion centres, UNIDO and

financial institutions.

We have been familiarized with UNIDO investment promotion tools such as PROPSPIN and COMFAR.

However, the Round-Table has failed one of its important objectivess: the presentation of investment projects requiring promotion, prepared in advance by each participating Investment Promotion Centre. In fact such a forum should be the appropriate place to exchang~ projects against investment. There was only one economic operator present in the meeting, even Zimbabwean promotors were absent. UNIDO should in the future attract more businessmen and promoters to the Round-Table in order to give the real sense to that Round-Table.

2) Guidelines for Preparing the Industrial Investment Project Profile (IIPP)

Mesdames

Comme vous Ie savez, Ie progres realise dans la mise en oeuvre du programme de la promotion industrielle mtegre de Ia premiere Decennie a ete fort limite. C'est ainsi que par exempIe, sur 41 projets strategiques cles approuves pour Ia sons-region de l'Afrique centrale, trois seulement ont ete executes, representant un taux d'execution de seulement 7,32%. Dans la sons-region de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, tous les projets du programme integre revrse de la promotion industrielle sont restes soit au stade d'etude de pre- faisabilite ou de faisabilite.

Ce faible taux d'execution est dfi a plusieurs obstascles, notamment:

I) L'absence des capacite a identifier des projets Industriels, ales executer et ales evaluer,

Permettez moi, Excellences, Mesdames et Messieurs, d'attirer votre attention sur deux des modalites precitees, qui vont etre l'objet de nos discussions pendant les trois jours qui nous sont impartis.

a

l'investissement et au developpement industriels. En effet, I'execution efficace des projets selectionnes, devra avoir Ie soutien technique et financier de la part des Etats membres et des organisations sous-regionales, regionales et intemationales. Et nous,

oeuvre des projets pouvant participer a un reel dcveloppcment du continent, car I'Afrique au cours de cette Decennie devra tout faire pour eviter d'etre marginaliser.

II est bien entendu que, la responsibilite premiere revient aux fils de ce continent. Les pays africains devrons, avec l'aide des centres de promotion des investissements, promouvoir l'epargne nationale et sous-regionale, afin de mobiliser les resources a des fins productives . Ces voies et moyens devront prendre en compte la participation active de la masse, en particulier Ie secteur prive de la petite et moyenne industrie qui, de l'avis de la CEA, jouera un role preponderant dans Ie developpement du continent.

Avec votre permission , Excellences, Mesdames et Messieurs, je voudrais terminer mon intervention en vous signalant ICI que la Commission Economique des Nations Unies pour l'Afrique, a deja inscrit dans son programme de travail des annees 1992/1993 un certain nombre d'activites devant aider les Etats membres dans la mise en oeuvre du programme de la Decennie, II s'agit de I'organisation d'une reunion de groupe d'experts ad-hoc sur la promotion des investissements industriels, pour les pays francophones, en decembre 1992, pour laquelle des invitations ont deja ete Iancees, et, une autre pour les pays englophones en 1993.

Ces deux reunions se tiendront a Addis Abeba au siege de Ia CEA.

Nous organiserons aussi deux reunions sons-regionales sur les . priorites sous-sectorielles et Ie developpemeut de la petite

industrie, l'une pour les pays francophones en 1992 et l'autre pour les pays anglophones en 1993.

DISCOURS DE REHERCIEMENT

Honorables,

Mesdames et Messieurs,

J'ai encore la lourde tache de prendre la parole au nom de mon organisation qu'est la CEA, pourreiterer mes remerciements aux organisations soeurs at au gouvernement du Zimbabwe qui ont permis la tenue de cette Table-Ronde.

Mes predecesseurs ont dit l'essentiel sur Ie bon deroulement de cette importante reunion, et, je pense que les uns et les autres ont pu tire profit des discussions que nous avons eues durant les quelques jours qui nous etaient impartis et, malgre qu'il y ait eu l'inquietude de quelques participants quant a l'impact de tels forums.

Comme l'a si bien souligne hier, mon collegue de .1'ONUDI, M.

Hebga, les Nations Unies ont pergu ce probleme de l'impact de ces forums sur Ie developpement des pays en developpement. Je puis vous assurer ici que nos organisations en general et la CEA en particulier ont revu leurs strategies afin d'etre plus

operationnelles et apporter des solutions concretes aux problemes poses par les Etats membres. Evidemment, comme je l'ai deja

souligne, les propositions devront venir des Etats membres, c'est a dire de vous qui representez vosEtats, car Ie systeme des

Nations Unies appartient aux pays membres et toute proposition dans Ie sens de l'amelioration est la bienvenue.

Au risque de repeter ce que mes predecesseurs ont deja dit ici, je voudrais avec votre permission souhaiter.bon retour a tous les participants dans leurs pays respectifs. Merci.
