    African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) export diversification

    Projects - May 1990 to August 1990
    Five country papers were prepared as part of a study of export diversification by the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) signatories of the Lomé Conventions. The study is in two parts. The first involved an analysis of trade statistics to identify which states have begun to export which non-traditional products. In the second, fieldwork has been undertaken in a select group of states to identify the story behind the statistics. The results of these country investigations are reported in three Working Papers. The results of these country investigations are reported in three Working Papers. One on Jamaica, Kenya and Ethiopia, while two others examine the cases of Zimbabwe and Mauritius.
