Résumé
L’expérience de la plupart des pays industrialisés indique qu’une partie de leur succès a été obtenue grâce à des investissements massifs dans le développement des capacités humaines, particulièrement sur les compétences techniques pertinentes pour l’industrie. L’Afrique a un programme clair pour atteindre l’objectif d’une industrialisation inclusive et transformatrice, mais elle n’a pas tout à fait réussi à créer la base de compétences requise. Pour atteindre l’objectif d’industrialisation énoncé dans l’Agenda 2063, le Plan d’action pour le développement industriel accéléré de l’Afrique (AIDA) et les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) 2030, une approche plus transformatrice de développement des capacités humaines doit être une priorité absolue. Le continent peut également profiter des enseignements des pays les plus performants en matière d’industrialisation tels que l’Allemagne, Singapour, le Japon et la République de Corée. L'article examine donc les stratégies mises en œuvre par ces pays pour réussir. Il s’inspire des travaux de Friedrich List qui soutient que le pouvoir mental ou l’accumulation de connaissances et d’expériences est l’élément principal du pouvoir productif et de l’industrialisation. Une méthodologie de recherche qualitative est appliquée.
