Abstract

Sustainable development has been a major problem in West Africa for quite time. Sustainable development requires institutions, policies, people, and effective partnership to carry out our common effort in nation building. The provision of new ideas will bring about success in West Africa. The provision of high degree of technology to allow the flow of new idea will bring profitable standard of production. Therefore many innovations are necessary and should be allowing proliferating to ensure the achievement of sustainable development. Invention is areas that most next be introduced to practice i.e. one most show the technical idea is visible and can be demonstrated. Industry analysis is a step that should be use as strategy to examine the external and internal futures in assisting the establishing of sustainable development in West Africa. This paper attempt to present the way forward.
