African economies are experiencing a structural shift whereby the service sector is becoming an important driver of growth. In 2004, the service sector contributed 49 per cent of GDP growth compared to 36 per cent for industry (including mining and quarrying) and 15 per cent for agriculture. In 2004, all three sectors continued to grow, albeit at relatively low rates. The industrial sector had the highest growth rate at 9.05 per cent, although growth in the manufacturing sector fell by almost 3.8 per cent compared to 2003.

2.0 The economic context: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Tanzania has a population of just over 37 million, a GDP of US$22 billion, and GDP per capita of US$610.6 An estimated 51 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Eighty per cent of the country’s poor population live in rural areas, depending on subsistence agriculture and unable to participate in broader markets. Poor roads, exorbitantly expensive utilities and prohibitive policies have compounded this problem, significantly impeding the growth of the economy.7 Agriculture, the mainstay of the economy, is almost 50 per cent of GDP, and small-scale peasant farmers, who make up 70 per cent of the population, carry out over 80 per cent of agricultural activities. About 30 per cent of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate (UDEC, 2002).

Commitment Based Management
As we move into this new century, we can look back and see that the very nature of work has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, yet our practices of management are essentially unchanged from WWII. What we have done is add technology to a set of practices that were intended to be effective in a time when mass factory production and agriculture made up 95% of the global economy. Unfortunately these same practices are still standard at business schools and big companies around the word.
Ontario Simcoe – Hit The Nature Trails
The Simcoe County is primarily famous for its pinewood forests. The region's history is tied with that of these forests. The first settlers who arrived here in the 1820s cleared vast tracts of forests for agriculture and other activities. Others felled trees for timber and wood. So much so that the dense pine forests soon gave way to level fields, with just about a few copses of trees remaining. Exactly 100 years after the first settlers arrived, Simcoe went on overdrive to replenish her forests. Today, this country has some of the best forest land in Canada.
