Abstract: Faced with the real opportunities of African economies (high growth, increased direct investment abroad, infrastructure development..), the sub-Saharan economies remain marked by a dualism, on the one hand a dynamic and complex informal economy, and on the other hand a highly formalized sector with its constraints. This dichotomy is a source of limits and strong economic impacts (decrease of productivity, loss of tax revenue, endemic public deficit, brake on foreign investment, etc.) thus limiting their attractiveness and competitiveness. In the light of research carried out in recent years in some Francophone countries, more than ever, a structural but gradual transformation of the ecosystem would be a considerable asset to secure growth, participate actively in the world trade, provide quality jobs for young people, and improve the dynamics of sub-Saharan countries.
