Economic Zones have multiplied around the world since the 1980s, mainly in response to the wave and changes in global trade and industrial value chain. The Economic Zones are becoming the most popular instrument for developing economies in emergent countries. The African Economy is also following this successful model, duplicating and deploying performent practices.
