Abstract:
African entrepreneurs in the diaspora are increasingly leveraging the duality of transnational space to expand economic opportunities in their countries of origin. Using the UK (London) and Sub-Saharan Africa migration corridor as a contextual prism, this paper explores the ‘everydayness' of entrepreneurship among African entrepreneurs in relation to how they traverse entrepreneurial spaces linking their countries of origin (home) and country of residence (host). Data collection combined discovery-oriented and ‘observer as participant’ techniques and emerging strands were fully explored using

Abstract:
The purpose of the empirical study is to make intelligible how entrepreneurs use networks, as well as describe the characteristics of these networks. A survey of 325 entrepreneurs from the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa was conducted. Results indicate that although South African entrepreneurs have more contacts in their networks, they spend less time in developing and maintaining contacts when compared to their international counterparts. Results show that South Africans have established their network ties for a long time, although most of the contacts were met through the entrepreneur

ABSTRACT & RÉSUMÉ: Much has been written on the relationship of China and Africa in the past decade. However, the subject of Chinese migrant entrepreneurs in Africa and their articulation with African counterparts was little explored up to the early 2010s. Apparently, this research gap has been closed, as shown by four publications in recent years: three edited volumes and one monography, focusing on this subject. In view of early prejudices on the passive or even disapproving reception of Chinese migrants by Africans, the state of the art underlines the importance and scope

This thesis steps back from this debate about whether hubs work. Instead, it asks how African hubs work, specifically how they shape relationships of technology entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
Financial inclusion – where individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs, delivered in a responsible and sustainable way – is a critical component of economic development. It is particularly important in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where there can be little traditional banking infrastructure. The success of M-PESA in Kenya shows that mobile money is helping financial inclusion in the region. Those in rural or underserved areas can use mobile money to access basic financial services – savings, payments, and credit – through

Abstract:
Achieving universal electrification in sub-Saharan Africa requires creative solutions. Renewable mini-grids are a promising technology to electrify remote communities with a substantial productive demand, mainly from agro-processing. Mini-grids have experienced fast growth and there are now around 2,200 systems in the sub-Saharan Africa region. However, their economic case in the sub-continent is unclear. Most mini-grids are struggling not only to obtain a profit but also to recover costs. This Research Report describes the case of a private company in Tanzania implementing a business model fo

Abstract:
In many parts of the world, the centralized grid provides energy to the population only to a limited extent. The electrification for sub-Saharan Africa countries is the lowest in the world, representing half of the world's population withoutelectricity. However, during the last years there has been an increased attention to rural areas in the Global South beyond the centralised grid, especially with respect to improved possibilities of solar power systems. The transition from one dominant form of energy provision to various alternatives includes different dimensions and depends on specific soc

Abstract:
Since 2011, the influx of sargassum in the Caribbean and West Africa has posed significant socio-economic challenges. Despite these negative impacts, there is a growing effort to turn sargassum into an opportunity. This has led to the creation of innovative products and services made from sargassum, which are now being marketed both regionally and internationally. The "Sargassum Uses Guide" is the most comprehensive resource on the topic, providing an overview of current and potential uses, along with a directory of innovators and researchers. However, it does not assess the effectiveness of t

South Africa, like many developing countries, faces the challenge of unemployment, particularly among young people (Stats SA, 2024). The youth unemployment rate stands at a concerning 45.5% for individuals aged 15-34, compared to the national average of 32.9% in the first quarter of 2024. In response, the Government of the Republic of South Africa has prioritised inclusive growth and job creation as a key objective for the 2024-2029 Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP).
