14 SMART VILLAGES of EGYPT BUT!!! Africa s Economy is effected by fragile international environment country specific problems Two years after the Arab revolutions, political and social tensions continue in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia unemployment which remains high in the region and political transition which is slow and contentious political and military conflict in Mali. In South Africa, growth was dampened by the global slowdown and labor unrest Agriculture Agriculture remains Africa s main source of employment with around 60% of its labor force employed in the sector share in GDP is much smaller, accounting for an average of 25%, indicating its relatively low level of productivity and earnings In Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ethiopia, Guinea, Guinea- Bissau, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger and Rwanda, between 80% and 90% of the total workforce are engaged in agriculture. 14
15 Agriculture Tourism Cotton, Coffee, cocoa Tourism, another important source of employment, continued to increase in several countries, but was held back in others. Cape Verde, Seychelles, Gambia, Kenya and Uganda recorded increasing tourist arrivals Seychelles Mert Deniz Günaydın The photo is chosen since it displays the condition of Seychelles in a figurative sense - i.e. charming, welcoming, paradise-like; yet unadulterated a great deal. 15
