Since early 1987, the ODI has been engaged on a major piece of research under the general title: 'Industrialisation in sub-Saharan Africa ', involving in-depth case studies of seven African countries: Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The case study work falls into two distinct parts. First an analysis of the industrialisation process from the early 1960s to the mid-1990s, followed by discussion of the options for and possibilities of accelerated industrialisation the late 1980s and 1990s. This Working Paper presents the first phase of the research for Zambia.
