This regional study takes twelve
oil-importing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and asks the
following two questions: does each stage in the supply
chain, from import of crude oil or refined products to
retail, seem to be efficiently run and are the efficiency
gains passed on to end-users? And if not, what are the
potential causes and possible means of remedying the
problems? The study focuses on Burkina Faso, Cote
d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Senegal in West Africa and
Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania,
and Uganda in East and Southern Africa, covering a wide
range of conditions that affect price levels, such as the
market size, geography (whether landlocked or coastal),
existence of domestic refineries, degree of sector
liberalization including pricing, and level of economic development.
