East Africa's population is expected to grow significantly by 2050. What implications will that have on economic growth, agriculture, and trade?

USAID Economic Analysis and Data Services (EADS) recently produced an Analytical Brief on Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade. The brief provides an overview of economic growth, trade, and agriculture in the East African countries of Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Somalia. Topics examined in this brief include population growth and urbanization, current economic growth trends, the state of democracy, infrastructure, trade and investment trends, and agriculture.

This brief is one of three recently produced by series of Analytical Briefs on the East Africa region. EADS Analytical Briefs are all housed on the International Data and Economic Analysis (IDEA) website under Analytical Products.
