Ghana, a more digitized economy
Ghana has recently embarked on the transformation of several public services. An identity card acts as a biometric passport and tax identification number. The country thus intends to mobilize internal revenues and prosecute all those who escape the tax authorities before the end of the year. This digital policy, which affects all sectors, should be a response to financial exclusion and the predominance of the informal sector.
In Burundi, the coffee sector is struggling to take off again
In Burundi, coffee represents nearly 40% of export resources, and provides a living for 8 million Burundians. With the failure of the privatization of the sector, the State has been running the sector since 2019, but the production figures remain low, having fallen from 34,000 to 6,000 tonnes for the 2021-2022 cropping season. On the coffee growers' side, there is growing discontent. Added to this is the lack of traceability of all the players involved in the sector.
