Abstract

[The economic gap between sub-Saharan Africa and the Global North is widening, even though the subcontinent is increasingly being integrated into global value chains (GVCs). Based on regression analyses, this chapter assesses GVC participation and its relationship with national regulatory governance structures for sub-Saharan Africa at a macro level. By analysing the relationship between domestic and foreign value-added production inputs to sub-Saharan African exports, the author concludes that GVC participation is unfavourable for many regional countries, as they largely export non-upgraded production inputs. The chapter also aims to analyse the relationship between GVC chain participation and various trade barriers, showing that these are of limited significance with the current state of value chain participation.]
