Reimagining Africa\u2019s Supply Chains for a Sustainable Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Africa\u2019s consumer class and its purchasing power are growing at a fast rate, increasing pressure on supply chains to meet rising demands for commodities, products and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Africa\u2019s supply chain faces multifaceted developmental challenges. These include underdeveloped infrastructure, difficulties in customs, fragmented retail markets, low urbanization rates, and long dwell times in ports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond these challenges, the continent\u2019s supply chains also contend with poor environmental practices and hazardous work conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent African Development Bank report highlights sustainable supply chains as one of the top priority areas for ensuring a sustainable future for Africa. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization further highlights the urgent need for transformation to sustainable production and supply chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reimagining Africa\u2019s supply chains for a sustainable future requires a major forum where scholars, practitioners and policymakers can brainstorm and share their thoughts and research insights. That is our aim for CARISCA\u2019s 2025 Supply Chain Research Summit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
