The report identifies and analyzes the drivers, enablers and policy levers for strengthening linkages between industrialization and urbanization. It shows that industrialization requires better functioning cities and systems of cities, which in turn require better performing industrialization processes. It stresses that African countries, under the right policy frameworks anchored in national development planning, can leverage the momentum of urbanization to accelerate industrialization for a more prosperous and equitable future.This Report provides an evidence-based assessment of the nature and performance of fiscal policy in Africa. It analyses both challenges and opportunities and identifies best practices in order to draw policy recommendations and facilitate exchange of experiences. This can help member states to undertake necessary fiscal policy reforms and improve macroeconomic management -- [publisher].
