The Zambia-Malawi-Mozambique Growth Triangle Publication
The book is generally about fast tracking regional/sub-regional integration using the growth triangle concept which places the private sector at the centre of the growth mechanism with governments playing a facilitative role. The book brings together, suitably edited, the various study reports prepared for the establishment of the Zambia-Malawi-Mozambique Growth Triangle in an effort to enhance and promote regional integration and cooperation. It provides researched outputs into policy dialogue on regional integration and development in Africa.

Kenya’s Democratic Transition: Challenges and Opportunities – Summary of Research Papers
This book discusses opportunities open to, as well as challenges facing Kenyans during the period when the country is going through a constitutional review process and the period of transition from one government to another. The book identifies political and socio-economic governance, human rights, nationhood, citizenship, corruption, and ultimately, people’s involvement in their governance as issues facing the country during the crucial period of transition. The book also highlights the need for restructuring the state, restoring confidence in institutions of governance, adopting a new development paradigm, building a nation, enhancing accountability by public servants, protecting and safeguarding the rights of Kenyans, and the need for morality and integrity in national life.

Growth and Transformation of Small Manufacturing Firms in Africa: Insights from Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe
This book is a synthesis of three country reports (Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe) from a multi-country study on the growth and transformation of micro- and small-scale manufacturing firms in Africa. The book confirms that efforts expended in supporting small enterprises in Africa should be sustained. It not only adds to the rapidly burgeoning literature in Africa’s small enterprise sector, but pushes the discourse on the continent’s development to a new threshold. The main contribution of this book is to show how Africa can get its small firms to transform.

Steering East Africa Towards a Customs Union: Suggestions from a Pilot Study
This book synthesises three country reports (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) which are outcomes of the pilot phase of a collaborative study on regional integration in Africa. It generates incremental knowledge on costs and benefits to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania of the on-going integration efforts. Without knowledge of the costs and benefits accruing to each member state and a sober understanding of available mechanisms for compensating losers, fears for skewed distribution of benefits and costs among partner states will continue to hamper the pace at which integration efforts in the sub-region move forward.
