Africa Investor Report 2011: Towards Evidence-based Investment Promotion Strategies The report has two key objectives - to identify “quality” foreign direct investment (FDI) and to seek an optimal allocation of scarce public funds in Africa by facilitating (largely through investment promotion agencies) the attraction of these investments. Close to 7,000 firms (with 36% having foreign involvement) were interviewed in 19 Sub-Saharan African host countries. The report examines the impact of FDI on productivity, training, human capital, competition, employment, wages and trade (exports). The publication of this report is an important step forward in understanding FDI in Africa, its impact and its prospects. It is the start of a process that should see the valuable data that it introduces analyzed and reanalyzed.

The revision updates the widely used 2001 version of the Model and is important for countries that seek assistance in the negotiation and implementation of modern bilateral double tax treaties reflecting their current circumstances and policy priorities. The Model recognizes that to avoid double investment taxation, the country where the investment is placed and the investors country often share taxing rights. The Model helps preserve an appropriate share of taxing rights for developing countries. It promotes cooperation to deal with tax avoidance and evasion.
