This yearlong project started in July 2016 and explored export sectors in 3 African countries - Ethiopia, Kenya and Madagascar. The objective of this study was to understand how Africanowned firms learn and build their technological capabilities to enter and remain competitive in global value chains. While ACET studied Floriculture in Kenya, the project generated 4 empirical industry case studies on textile in Ethiopia and Madagascar, and Floriculture in Ethiopia. These empirical studies were generated by assessing firms’ technological capabilities, tailoring the study of capabilities to specific global value chains and constructing firm histories based on oral narratives. This report was completed and published in the Roskilde University Journal of Center for African Economics.
