Abstract: Earlier studies on the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth have not been instructive largely on their failure to examine the sectoral transmission channels through which FDI affects growth. We re-examine the impact of FDI on economic growth in Africa using the system generalized method of moments. The result reveal that,while FDI positively and unconditionally spurs economic growth, its growth-enhancing effect is imaginary when the conditional sectoral effects are introduced. On the channels of manifestation,we notice that the pass-through impact of FDI is only significant for the agricultural and service sectors.
