Abstract: Any society can sustain long-term development without promoting investment that is,we can say the foundation of all economic growth. Indeed, investment which has a special role to play in economic growth is inescapable insofar as it can contribute effectively to the creation of jobs, the increase in the volume of capital, the financing of development projects and above all to strengthen the capacity of the sectors of economic activity. Investment has a very special role to play in economic growth in Africa since its countries lack the financial resources to promote their economic development. However, policy makers in African countries must ensure that Africa's investment can make a significant contribution to economic development. They must therefore make important policy decisions that not only promote investment but also encourage investors to invest in strategic and priority sectors that will help improving economic activity and also ensure that investment is beneficial To economic growth.
Keywords: Investment, economic growth, role, development, Strategic and priority sectors, financing, projects, financial resources, promote.
