Sustainable Competitiveness

FERDI analyzes the capacity of African countries to integrate into the global economy through the Sustainable Competitiveness Observatory (SCO).

This analytical framework is based on three key dimensions: economic vulnerability, territorial attractiveness, and price competitiveness. These dimensions are examined in relation to performance indicators, particularly the overall and sector-specific evolution of market shares. https://competitivite.ferdi.fr/
