AFRICA-INDIA: FACTS & FIGURES 2015

FOREWORD

Africa and India have had a rich distinguished history, first ushered by Indian traders led by the seasonal monsoon winds before they up-scaled their presence in the 17th century due to the abundance of spices on the East African coast. The colonial period brought with it a new demand for Indian Labour. Today, the relationship is vibrant and multilayered. It is one of equal partners focused on prosperity and a quest for mutually beneficial economic development. The result is that annual trade between India and Africa stands at US$ 75 billion making India the third largest trading partner of Africa.

The data in this publication bears testimony to the depth and breadth of the sectors that Africa and India place the greatest levels of engagement. Both entities recognize that the development of micro, small and medium-scale enterprises is a necessary first step towards industrialization. The importance of a robust financial sector for economic development has been acknowledged in the cooperation policy, leading to the development and growth of regulatory frameworks that have spawned new ways of doing business. In addition, regional cooperation and economic integration have generated financial support to mutually agreed integration programmes and projects. Ultimately, the data, which cuts across a remarkable breadth of sectors tells

the story of two parties working towards achieving common prosperity and progress.

In the area of science and technology, Africa and India share the common objective of enhancing collaborative research, strengthening science and technology institutions and cashing in on the growth of a south-south dynamic information economy. In this new era of Sustainable Development Goals, Africa and India share a common understanding on many fronts, such as the need to reinforce their cooperation in human resource development, upgrade healthcare systems and improve basic sanitation to stem the spread of diseases resulting from poor hygiene and environmental sanitation.

It is in this backdrop that the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) have come together to produce this publication titled “Africa-India: Facts & Figures 2015”. It is our hope that the information in this publication will provide a much-needed snapshot of the potential for even greater collaboration and investment. By the year 2063, new and vibrant trade winds would have taken Africa and India to new heights of exchange and prosperity whose seeds are only now being sown.

Between 1950 and 2015, the total population of Africa increased by 418% while that of India and the World increased by 248% and 191%, respectively. Furthermore, Africa’s population is expected to more than double in 2050 as compared to the current population. During the same period the population of India and the World will increase by only 30% and 32% respectively. In 2050 the population of Africa will account for a quarter of the world population, while the population of Africa and India together will account for 43% of the world population.

With the decline in fertility, the proportion of children in Africa is expected to decrease from 42.2% to 32.2% between 2015 and 2050. Similarly, in India the proportion of children will decrease from 31.8% to 19.1%. The proportion of old age population is expected to increase by 3.5 and 9.9 percentage points in Africa and India respectively.

Between 2000 and 2012, both Africa and India have improved their gross enrolment ratios in primary education. As is shown in Table 18, the gross enrolment ratio in primary education has risen consistently from 2000 to 2008 and has exceeded 100% in India between 2003 and 2011, and in Africa between 2009 and 2012. In Africa, the gross enrolment ratio of males in primary education was higher than the females. On the other hand, in India there has not been much difference between the gross enrolment ratios of males and females, especially during the recent years.

The gross enrollment ratios in secondary education continue to be lower in both Africa and India, with around 47% and 69% respectively.
