This document is the declination of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy Paper, second generation (PRSP 2) and the National Strategic Development Plan (PNSD) for the industrial sector.

The vision of this policy is to provide the country with a dynamic, competitive, environmentally responsible and sustainable development industrial fabric based on the expansion of the value creation chain for more decent jobs in order to contribute to the emergence of a diversified and competitive economy.
