Abstract

Economic transformation refers to the process of changing the structure and composition of an economy. Africa's economic transformation is essential for sustainable development and global competitiveness. This study investigates the productive economy of three selected African countries, highlighting key strategies, challenges, and policy interventions that have influenced their economic progress. The study employs secondary data on the gross domestic product (GDP) of each country (proxy for economic transformation) as dependent variable while using industrialization, technological advancement, and human capital development as independent variables. The study employed panel data analysis and comparative analysis approach. The research identifies best practices and lessons learned in fostering industrialization, technological advancement, and human capital development. The findings underscore the importance of innovation, infrastructure, and policy coherence in driving Africa's economic transformation.
