Dear Colleagues,

The leadership at ISEAPA<\/a> is excited to host the first productivity conference centered around African productivity issues. Per COVID-19 precautions, the conference will be run entirely virtually. We expect a large and diverse body of participants to attend in 2021. Submissions on efficiency, productivity, growth, sustainability, development infrastructure, energy, population growth, urbanization and labor market are highly encouraged. Our aim is to have a conference program that features all popular techniques and methodologies within the field, including stochastic frontier analysis and data envelopment analysis. We also welcome papers on broader issues related to measuring, understanding, incentivizing and improving the productivity and performance of firms, public services, and industries within Africa.

Interested scholars can submit an extended abstract (300-500 words) through ISEAPA<\/a>. Priority will be given to submissions with a full-length paper. All submissions will be considered by the scientific committee. Keynote speakers are listed below. On behalf of ISEAPA leadership, we look forward to welcoming \u201cseeing\u201d all participants this upcoming December.

Important dates:
Abstract submission and registration: August 15th, 2021
Abstract submission closes: October 31st, 2021
Notification of acceptance: November 15th, 2021
