20 November
Within the framework of the Second Industrial Development Decade for Africa, the General Assembly proclaimed 20 November as Africa Industrialisation Day (resolution 44/237 of 22 December 1989).
The day is intended to mobilise the commitment of the international community to the industrialisation of Africa. It also serves as a reminder that more than 30 of the world's 48 least developed countries are located in Africa.
