Strategies for African Governments and Businesses to Mitigate Global Supply Chain Risks
John B. Clinton
Abstract: Global supply chains are increasingly susceptible to disruptions due to a variety of factors, including natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, pandemics, and technological challenges. Africa, with its unique set of economic, political, and infrastructural characteristics, faces specific vulnerabilities in the face of such disruptions. While global attention is often centered on more developed economies, the impact of supply chain disruptions in Africa is profound, affecting industries, governments, and local populations. This article explores the key challenges Africa faces in global supply chain management, identifies the critical sectors at risk, and outlines strategic actions that African governments, businesses, and organizations can take to build resilience. By emphasizing the importance of diversification, technological innovation, collaboration, and infrastructure development, the article presents a roadmap for preparing for the next global supply chain disruption, ensuring that Africa remains adaptable and competitive in the evolving global economy.
