Regional development is a broad term but can be seen as a general effort to reduce regional disparities by supporting (employment and wealth-generating) economic activities in regions. In the past, regional development policy tended to try to achieve these objectives by means of large-scale infrastructure development and by attracting inward investment" (OECD, 2014).A territorial and regional approach to development is crucial in addressing regional challenges, regional economic competitiveness, and reducing socio-economic discrepancies. This book provides a forum to articulate and discuss Africa's regional development issues in view of the rising opportunities within the African region. This volume contains 14 chapters and is organized in four sections: Introduction, Industry, Trade and Investment in Africa, Agricultural Services and the Water-energy-food Nexus in Africa, and Environmental and Cultural Dimensions to Africa's Regional Development.
