Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from developed countries as well as developing countries is becoming one of the engines of economic growth in Africa. Despite its increasing importance, there are no substantial studies on FDI in Africa explaining the trends and analysing the phenomenon. This volume is intended to fill the gap, focusing on Japanese FDI in Africa, with a particular purpose of establishing a basis for policy formulation. This publication provides analysis and policy suggestions to Governments of both home and host countries, entrepreneurs and others. It contributes to a better understanding of FDI in Africa, examines the extent to which FDI is central to bringing about structural change and sustained growth. It further outlines policy options for both developed and developing countries.
