SEZs can be an effective catalyst for industrialization and structural transformation for developing countries if implemented properly in the right context. However, the performance of SEZs is mixed globally, with East Asia outperforming other regions in general. In sub-Saharan Africa, with the rapid industrial transfer wave of recent years and inspiration from the East Asian success, countries have shown renewed interest in this policy instrument. This chapter provides an overview and an in-depth analysis of Africa’s SEZ experiences through thirteen case examples, identifies the key drivers of SEZs’ success, and draws useful lessons which can be applicable to other developing countries.
