146. In addition to expanding and equipping the BAU's, there was an experience exchange with Portugal and Cape Verde, and in the future it is intended to use an integrated platform for the provision of services to citizens, through greater integration of sector services, accompanied by an expansion of the physical space of the BAU. D. External Position The APR Panel recommended on this issue that an incentive structure be created that is geared towards linking the industrialization process with the country's resource base in order to create strong forward and backward linkages (i), and that the recommendations of the Summit of Heads of State of the African Union in February 2007 according to which governments should allocate a budget of at least 1.0% of total GDP for the industrial sector, be implemented (ii). 147. To ensure a targeted incentive structure linking the industrialization process with the country's resource base, important activities were carried out, in particular: Opening up and connecting the country through intensive rehabilitation of primary roads; Rehabilitation of transport corridors and infrastructure in development corridors; Expansion of vocational schools; Approval of the Integrated Investment Programme that established an intersectoral vision and identifies some of the criteria to be used in project selection; and Production of monitoring reports on the provision of services crucial to the development of the private sector such as roads, communication systems, electricity, and infrastructure. 148. To ensure implementation of the recommendations of the Summit of Heads of State of the African Union in February 2007 according to which at least 1.0% of total GDP should be allocated to industry, various measures to boost the industrial sector were taken, as mentioned in previous points, despite the difficulty that budget classifications used in the country do not enable us to identify the percentage directed to the industrial sector. Sectors such as infrastructure and education contribute to the creation of conditions for industrial development and, on this basis, public resources allocated to these sectors also contribute to industrial development. Estimating total resources that go to industrial development is therefore complex, but this complexity results from the type of budget classifiers used, namely, economic, functional, organic and territorial. The above recommendation requires adequate classifiers, such as the programmatic classifiers, which are now in a pilot phase of implementation. 149. Therefore, it is suggested that the evaluation should be made from a functional perspective, where it may also consider the indirect contribution of other sectors. 57
