Abstract
This chapter examines the prospects and challenges to the development of regional value chains in Southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe). It sketches the economic and trade background in the region by describing existing value chains and patterns of trade, growth and financial flows. It subsequently explores a case study of value chain development with respect to the automotive sector in Southern Africa: the current status and recent history of automotive value chain development as well as the major constraints to further development. The analysis draws out recommendations for deepening value chain industrialisation in the Southern African region and relates this to the AfCFTA as well as the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
