Africa Industrialization Day
November 20

Within the framework of the Second Industrial Development Decade for Africa (1991-2000), the General Assembly proclaimed 20 November as Africa Industrialization Day (resolution 44/237 of 22 December 1989).  The Day is intended to mobilize the commitment of the international community to the industrialization of Africa.

"Africa's present is a very difficult one but not a bleak one. For despite the privations, despite the political upheavals and instability, and despite the communal conflicts, the African people have not despaired of overcoming their difficulties. Our people have a dogged optimism of the heart that has seen them through many an adversity in their long history. They most assuredly do not now accept the present state of affairs as a permanent one and they rightly have no belief in it. But if they are to continue in this spirit, then our leadership in all its principal branches must also in its turn rise to the height of our problems." -- President Olusegun Obasanjo
