– Late 1990’s only 15% of regions GDP from manufacturing – varies depending on country
– Obstacles – lack of capital, political turmoil, lack of skilled workers or transportation.

Improving transportation
• Wars and lack of funds have caused a decline in highways and railways
• regions size and unfavorable terrain made difficult to find new routes
• few harbors and navigable rivers
• government owned airlines have international and domestic service
• Intl. airports – Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Nairobi, Kenya, Johannesburg, South Africa, Dakar, Senegal

Mass Communication
• lack of newsprint, low literacy rate
• telephone service is limited
– Chad 1-1,209, Kenya 1-111
– most effective is radio Chad 1-4, Kenya 1-11
– T.V. – rerun American shows, urban areas, educational tool.
