The Global Africa Business Initiative

18 -19 September 2022.  The Global Africa Business Initiative is designed to highlight opportunities on the continent where every sector of the economy from manufacturing to agriculture to services to finance is on a growth trajectory. 

SPOTLIGHT: FOOD SYSTEMS: recording

According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Africa's food-import bill is expected to reach $110bn by 2025. Investments in agriculture and land reform are a major issue in securing Africa's food security. And given the impact of climate change on the continent, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, even that may not be enough. 

A panel discussed how Africa can overcome this challenge.
