FirstIndustrial Revolution

SecondIndustrial Revolution

ThirdIndustrial Revolution

FourthIndustrial (R)Evolution

Based on the introduction of mechanical production equipment driven by water and steam power

Based on mass production achieved by division of labor concept and the use of electrical energy (electrification)

Based on the use of electronics and IT to further automate production (automation)

… driven by Digitalization,Integration and enhanced Flexibility

Characteristics

• Humans, devices and systems

are connected along the entire

value chain

• All relevant information is

available in real-time – across

suppliers, manufacturers and

customers

• Parts of the value chain can

constantly be optimized with

respect to different criteria, e.g.,

cost, resources, customer needs

Share of Industry has remained almost constant at about 35% of

value added since the 1960s.

Contribution by Manufacturing has actually decreased, resulting in

de-industrialization.

African countries have followed a raft of economic policy paradigms since

independence reflecting the economic complexities and priorities of

international financial institutions often leading to policies loosely linked to

African needs and unable to address their challenges.

These strategies are: 1960-1979:Development planning 1980-1999: Structural adjustment programs 2000-Present: Quasi-planning period

6

At the regional level, due to Inadequate structural change, Manufacturing

contribution to industrial growth remains slight overall at 5%.

7

The skills required for transformation go beyond acquisition of

formal schooling.

8

Tertiary education enrolment in East Africa is growing at 6 % per year, clearly

insufficient to meet the need for highly skilled workers.

East Africa’s University enrolments are skewed towards humanities and liberal

arts, with science and engineering only 25% of enrolment.

TVET are not given enough attention to meet the needs of industrial development,

are ill-equipped and accounts for less than 5%.

Many courses are not formalized and have too few qualified staff, obsolete

equipment, ill-adapted programmes and weak links to the job market.

9

Soft skills are needed such as cognitive, creative, problems solvingand managerial skills which are difficult to develop in traditionalschool systems.

Recent evidence shows that programmes combining in-class andon-the-job training provide soft skills and hard skills that can have apositive impact on employability and earnings.

A poorly skilled and educated labour force is the top supplybottleneck underscored by global executives when consideringmanufacturing investment decisions in East Africa.

10

To build capacity and confidence across the creative workforce ignited bycreative education and skills provision.

To establish a set of high profile clusters and networks of creativeindustries activity which enable knowledge to be exchanged and ideas togrow regionally and internationally.

To position the creative industries as value-adders across the economy inorder to lift the quality and innovation potential.

Kenya is by far the economic and creative economy hub of East Africa.

Kenya is also a hub of continent-wide significance, offering strong competition to others Africa regions.

Kenya has attracted IBM, Volkswagen, Google, Siemens etc. because of her Dynamism, Infrastructures, and prestigious Universities.

Siemens provides products, systems and solutions in Electrification, Automation

and Digitalization fields Worldwide.

Many Kenyan industries use Siemens Products but there are too few qualified

staff to service them.
