dc.description	A fundamental development challenge for sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries is the creation of gainful employment opportunities at a large scale, a challenge highlighted by the current high underemployment and informal employment. Over the last couple of decades, SSA countries have registered strong economic growth. In these countries, agriculture has experienced a decline in its contribution to value addition and employment while services have grown considerably. Manufacturing, however, has played a minor role despite its expanding workforce. This article discusses key features of manufacturing and policies to promote job creation and productivity growth.	en_US
