This volume XII of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook focuses on the challenges of commodity dependence, resource curse, and export diversification in Africa. It presents policy-oriented papers and development projections aimed at addressing the reliance of African countries on a limited range of primary commodities. Through various country case studies, the book examines the state of commodity dependence, efforts to diversify exports, and vulnerabilities to crises and conflicts. It highlights issues related to the continent's abundant natural resources, particularly its strategic oil resources. Contributions discuss the resource curse in countries such as Cote d'Ivoire, Angola, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, and Nigeria, with detailed case studies on Nigeria and Cameroon emphasizing export diversification by product and function. The analysis includes necessary policy and institutional changes at national, regional, and sub-regional levels to overcome these challenges. The volume also features book reviews, notes, and up-to-date news and information. Together with volume XI, it serves as a foundation for comprehensive policy reform strategies in Africa, benefiting officials, researchers, and the global donor community engaged in Africa's development. Development practitioners and media professionals will find both volumes invaluable for insights and inspiration.
