Triple-crises-induced food insecurity: systematic understanding and resilience building approaches in Africa

Conceptualizing sustainable supply chain resilience: Critical materials manufacturing in Africa as a catalyst for change

“…Furthermore, regional collaboration and integration initiatives, such as the AfCFTA, can facilitate knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and market access, enabling African nations to leverage economies of scale, reduce trade barriers, and enhance supply chain resilience(Onuwa and Adedire, 2024).Additionally, public-private partnerships (PPPs), joint ventures, and stakeholder engagement platforms can promote inclusive and participatory decision-making processes, ensure that benefits from critical materials manufacturing are shared equitably, and address the needs and priorities of local communities(Ogundairo et al, 2023;Zhang and Shahid, 2024).In conclusion, collaboration among governments, businesses, academia, and civil society is essential for advancing sustainable critical materials manufacturing in Africa. By implementing policy interventions, capacity-building initiatives, and technology transfer programs, African nations can unlock the potential of their natural resources, promote inclusive and sustainable development, and build resilient supply chains that contribute to economic growth, environmental protection, and social equity on the continent(Tambo et al, 2023;Orieno et al, 2024).…”
